Survive the palace or die trying
Crafted with historical and cultural depth
Political intrigue, sharp wit, and a healthy dose of literal and figurative backstabbing—royal courts have always been a breeding ground for drama. Road to Empress delivers all this and more in its upcoming full-motion video (FMV) experience, launching soon on iOS, Android, and Steam. If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to rise through the treacherous ranks of imperial China, this is your chance to find out.
Step into the role of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, and begin your journey from the very start. Set against the backdrop of the Tang Dynasty—a time rife with deception, power struggles, and hidden agendas—you’ll need more than just courage to survive. Intelligence, strategy, and well-timed decisions will be your greatest tools as you navigate a world where one misstep could mean exile—or worse.
This is a true Choose Your Own Adventure-style narrative, where every choice carries weight. From diplomatic responses to secret alliances, your decisions will shape your rise to power. Key moments will test your judgment, and the outcomes will ripple across your story. Will you master the art of court politics and claim your destiny as Empress of China? Or will you fade into obscurity, lost among the countless forgotten figures of the palace?
With over a hundred ways to fail—some ending in betrayal, others in disgrace—the stakes are high no matter which path you take. Survival is never guaranteed, but for those who endure, greatness awaits.
Authenticity is at the heart of Road to Empress. Developed with guidance from a renowned Chinese cultural scholar, the game weaves historical accuracy with compelling storytelling, offering a richly layered experience that respects its cultural roots while delivering thrilling drama.
