Hi, this is Red Candle Games. When we were working on Nine Sols, our team had many ideas for the story of Lear, but due to time constraints and other factors, we weren't able to include everything. However, a year ago, by chance, we established a partnership with MOJOIN, and we were fortunate enough to meet the amazing artist, Yang Chi-Cheng.
