Key Timeline
Crossing the Gobi, glaciers, and blizzards, we journey east to carry news of victory. Each of us will become one of these messengers and experience a return to Tang territory where ordinary people face death to safeguard their homeland's hope.
Downfall of Yellow Sky was handcrafted with zero investment by a team of eleven working out of a cramped, run-down apartment on the urban-rural fringe. It is a top-down action cultivation roguelite in which players dismantle and reconstruct weapons, forge spiritual arms, loot mystical artifacts, and wield divine abilities to build their own combat style. The game also features an astrolabe-style skill tree and an original 'meridian abnormality' system: triggering an attribute abnormality adds the corresponding elemental enchantment to skills. We are eager to see where this project goes next.

Whether it can survive long enough to reach that point remains unknown.
