YaoBound

YaoBound (灵妖西行) is an original Chinese mythology creature-collecting RPG set three centuries after Journey to the West. Heaven has barred its gates, Vulture Peak has sealed the western road, and black-red Eclipse Marks are erasing the instincts and memories of spirits. A young herbalist named A-Yan bonds with three companions in Water Curtain Cave and follows the missing merit west.

The game combines readable affinity counters, three-active six-spirit parties, branching evolution, playable tribulations, ten revisitable regions, and a permanent 100-floor tower.

Status: in development. Release date and platforms: to be announced.

Names and motifs from Journey to the West are classical sources; the post-pilgrimage setting, Eclipse Marks, the missing-merit mystery, and all new characters are original to YaoBound. The images on this page are project artwork, not gameplay screenshots.
