Steam Store description

This graphic narrative game is adapted from Water Margin (also known as Outlaws of the Marsh ), one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature, written by Shi Nai'an (c. 1296 – c. 1370) in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. There is an old Chinese saying: "Young people should not read Water Margin ," meaning that the young are not ready to read this work too early.
