Cosy gaming fans, get ready to trade your virtual watering cans for an artist’s brush. Publisher 2P Games and developer Betobe Studio have officially announced that their stunning, meditative hex-building game, Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll, is officially arriving on PC via Steam on July 17.
If you’ve spent hours losing yourself in the tranquil tile-placement of Dorfromantik or the pure creative freedom of Townscaper, this gorgeous slice of interactive art needs to be at the very top of your wishlist.
Check out what makes this living canvas so special, and how you can grab a launch week discount below!
A Living, Breathing Ink-Wash Painting
Unlike traditional city-builders that stress you out with strict resource management, terrain restrictions, or looming disasters, Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll is designed as a stress-free creative retreat.
The game transforms classical Chinese ink-wash painting into a responsive, living digital world. Using an intuitive hexagonal tile system, you have complete freedom to lay down mountains, rivers, winding paths, and ancient architectural marvels at your own pace.
Key Features to Look Forward To:
- Responsive Landscapes: Watch the environment evolve dynamically based on where you place your tiles. Connect a path to the water’s edge, and it organically transforms into a bustling wharf. Build a trail next to a legendary mountain peak, and an ancient temple will reveal itself through the mist.
- Meet the “Aspects”: As your world grows, you will awaken mystical, personified spirits known as Aspects. Born from classical poetry and legendary Eastern landmarks, these characters guide you through the history and folklore of the Far East, bringing strategic depth and unique world-altering abilities to your session.
- The Ultimate Zen Soundtrack: Your building journey is accompanied by a beautifully tranquil soundtrack of classical Chinese music that harmonises perfectly with every stroke of the landscape.
- Whimsical Secrets: Keep your eyes peeled as you build! The developers have tucked playful, hidden cats into the quiet corners of your creations.
