Developed by Zerocreation Games and published by 2P Games, The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty is a disturbing visual novel that pushes moral boundaries and has sold over one million copies worldwide. Today, it delivers the unforgettable voyage to the Nintendo Switch.
A hollow husk of the man he once was, Liang is adrift in a world ripped apart by revolt and conflict after being shattered by the Great Tianqi Explosion. Disillusioned and desperate, he resorts to the underground and takes on an illegal mission: escorting four young girls to a wealthy lord who poses as their father.
Explore a war-torn nation and discover the unique histories and personalities of each female. Cater to each girl with patience, earn their trust, and make calculated decisions that challenge Liang’s wayward morals. On this humble journey of self-discovery and redemption, stay hopeful despite despair, unlock all nine branching routes to this story, and find the true ending.
Through hand-drawn images that combine classic Chinese aesthetics with contemporary animation, immerse yourself in the Ming Dynasty, a time of rebellion and chaos. Combat, images of weapons, bones or bones, foul language, severe pain, criminal activity, bleeding, violent behavior, unintentional death, physical harm, corpses, violent depictions, suicide, partial nudity, showing a young girl flirting with an adult man, and drinking are all considered mature content.
Rie Kugimiya (Fullmetal Alchemists/ Brotherhood, Fairy Tail, Gintama), Kazuma Horie (Durarara!!, Elfen Lied, Psycho-Pass, Claymore), Risa Shimizu (Pokémon, Cyberpunk 2077), and other well-known voice actors provide excellent Japanese voice acting in The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty.
Ji Ling, Producer at Zerocreation Games states, “We are incredibly grateful for the support of more than a million fans around the world, which has made it possible to launch The Hungry Lamb on Nintendo Switch today. Please stay tuned for our upcoming sequel, The Weeping Swan: Ten Days of the City’s Fall, which will continue this grim tale in Q4 2025.”
