About
Welcome to Nan Sheng, an ancient matriarchal fantasy land teeming with gods, demons, and occasional modern marvels brought in by mysterious travelers. In this whimsical world, you’ll step into the shoes of a Tiqi (elite enforcer) under the Zhenwu Bureau, bearing the Moon Emperor’s secret decree to quell rising unrest among martial artists.

Your destiny is yours to shape. Will you exploit your authority to spark turmoil and seize power? Or pursue a path of peace, protecting the innocent? Perhaps you’ll claim the Mandate of Heaven itself. Embrace the chaos in this lighthearted RPG, where comedic madness and dramatic showdowns collide!

-Female-Dominant Setting
Nan Sheng’s societal structure places women at the highest tiers of power. This alternate reality flips conventional historical norms on their head—expect surprises around every corner.
-Male Pregnancy” & Black-Box Biology
True to its unconventional world, men can bear children in Nan Sheng. How? That’s part of the fantasy! There is no explicit discussion of anatomy—it’s left intentionally vague for comedic effect and player interpretation.
Roam the martial realm, infiltrate political circles, or become a defender of the people. Your actions will influence shifting allegiances—from sworn enemies to star-crossed allies.

-Fishing for Fun
Encounter 80+ distinct fish across freshwater, saltwater, magma pools, and icy lakes. Some fish can be sold, some are edible, and some are quest items. Plus, you might stumble upon random events or NPC interactions while fishing!

There will be three types of seeds in the game. These are regular seeds from the store, exotic seeds sold by foxes, and fantasy seeds.
Players watering certain fantasy plants will trigger some random plot. For example, a certain poisonous flower may cause you to fall into a brief hallucination when watering it.


-Light COC-Style Skill Checks
Rely on dice rolls for certain actions—like using the Listen skill to eavesdrop on gossip. Most scenarios hinge on simple success or failure, though a handful may lead to spectacular triumphs or disasters.

-Straightforward Combat
You start with decent strength. Switch weapons for melee attacks, summon a mechanical hawk, or toss landmines—simple controls ensure easy-to-learn battles that still pack a punch.

-Diverse Relationships
Forge unique bonds with multiple romance options including both male and female characters (and occasionally more unusual genders, too). Pursue pure love, gather a grand harem, or wage a thrilling love-hate rivalry. Each character has their own moral code and might even oppose you—choose wisely.



Important Disclaimer
This game is all-ages with no explicit content, despite the unconventional themes.
All main characters are 18+ to avoid any misunderstandings about age.
The focus is on humor, drama, and storytelling over realism or explicit depictions.
Additional Considerations
Matriarchal Context
Nan Sheng is a woman-led society, which may differ from typical historical or fantasy settings. Expect role reversals in power dynamics, social norms, and cultural expectations.
Fantasy “Male Pregnancy”
While the game includes a “male pregnancy” mechanic, it remains purely fantastical and comedic. We leave it intentionally vague (“black box biology”)—there’s no graphic or detailed depiction.
All-Characters-Are-Adults
In many regions, an “18+” label implies adult content. Here, it simply means every character is legally an adult; the story itself contains no explicit sexual scenes.
Comedic & Lighthearted
Expect a blend of comedic anachronisms, over-the-top plot twists, and dramatic flair. It is not a historically accurate simulation but rather a fantastical, melodramatic escapade.
Romance Variety
You can romance both male and female characters, alongside the possibility of more unconventional genders. Relationships may remain platonic, turn into devoted one-on-one romance, or veer into dramatic harems and rivalries.
Solo Developer
This entire project is created and managed by one person. Please understand that updates and replies to community questions may take time. We appreciate your patience and feedback!
Embrace the absurd and dive into this blend of martial intrigue, comedic chaos, and “dog-blood” drama. Tricks of Gods and Ghosts invites you to craft your own legend in a land where anything can happen—and probably will!

我玩这个游戏已经50h了,这样讲吧,玩法很丰富,美术也在线,前期我也觉得很上头,一段时间后就有点受不了了,主要是有点肝,这是针对游玩体验的评价。 对于剧情我有个很不喜欢的点,就是男生子,我可以理解女尊,甚至很喜欢女尊题材,但我个人认为男生子且女孩子又无法怀孕的世界观无疑是仅仅把性别对调的社会,对生育者的压迫、不公依然比比皆是,而主控偏偏又是站在一个既得利益者的角度,以我的体验来看,主控对男性的同情心也是很有限的。这样的认识就使得整个游戏的立意并没有很高,社会既得利益者的权谋争斗,生育者的悲哀迎合。更别提女主是一个为了利益可以把情感拿来利用的人(不会这也要说是“大女主”的正确的吧),可以随意脚踏多条船,诸位带入一下主控是非女尊世界的男的,真的很值得得意吗?我反正很不适,你都做女性向游戏了,能不能让你玩家看着不膈应?我真的觉得很可惜,好多年了,很少有这个题材,但这大概不是我所期待的女尊游戏。 当然,诸位要是觉得游戏就图个开心,不想思考这么多有的没的,哪怕是批皮嘎啦给木内核游戏也照样玩,那就是诸位说了对,不要看我巴拉巴拉
This one of those fantasy historical chinese story/setting games where I was quickly sold on the premise and gameplay, some of my hours weren't me playing but i've put about 4+ hours and for an indie game with a small team i'm addicted <3 the pros outweigh the cons despite minor flaws and some obvious bugs here and there- Pros- -Massive amount of romancebles to meet/unlock (both male/female: option to make females friends when starting) -The dialogue and characterization for all characters feels so wonderful and every interaction with the romanceables can range from wholesome to jealously funny which I love -Options range from platonic relationships to monogamous or if like me you want the poly route get every man and/or womans affection up and bring your waifus together haha -I love economically that earning gold especially in events can make you some easy coin with the right rng luck and helps with certain purchase/quest money requirements -All the cg art is gorgeous and many turn up randomly when you meet new characters always a wonderful surprise -1.5 million words in current ea got your fill of fun story/character writing -More to come but overall lovely reverse gender roles romance rpg especially if your a historical chinese fantasy lover <3 Onto cons- -Music is soothing but can repeat in some areas not too bothersome but gets repetitive -If you like your game in english this is not it, I don't have problems translating so I use my google lens on my phone but if non-english games bother you avoid unless translating isn't an issue -Certain bugs i've run into not game breaking so far but can get you stuck for example when gardening it took ssome multiple clicks to leave but did not require restarting (will update if anymore bugs) -Feels indie but not too much of a con considering the very small team and what has been accomplished in fun/scope <3 Overall for anyone who has no issue with translating a very addictive reverse gender harem/fantasy romance game with women leading the hierarchy and the ability to create a choice driven story with the option of multiple romances highly recommend for the value <3
情人越多越气派
女尊好评,cg和立绘很完美人物塑造丰富没有ooc,gb/gl吃得都很舒服,文本量大管饱符合价位,虽然文笔有点像橙光进修出来的。 一直在期待摄政线和上官凌支线更新,这对女同性恨写得很香。 就是rpg地图玩法有点无聊,橙光/ycy攻略游戏像素rpg版。前面就是赚钱跑图刷好感,后面直接跳过。不知道设置这个一个月30天的自由活动时间是什么意思,前期饱和后期根本没事情可做。战斗玩法做了还不如不做非常鸡肋。 剧情内有大量性别叙事,有点像顺什么南性转版,包括女主的塑造也有点味。感官上就很不适,特别是苏易盏的初遇剧情。这种事情真的不是换个性别就可以显得不恶熏的。以及有些寻常对话不知道在智斗什么,swbj致敬过这集。
This is another Asian game that blends stunning scenery and beautifully drawn portraits with retro-style pixelated characters roaming and interacting with the world. Unlike many titles that rely on generic assets, this game puts in the effort to create entirely original visuals that are both distinctive and well-crafted. It features elements of a visual novel, so expect plenty of dialogue. Thankfully, there's a handy skip button that lets the text auto-progress, sparing you from having to tap through every line. The gameplay also includes battles and exploration of hazardous areas, but instead of traditional turn-based combat, fights happen in real time—letting you dodge, run around, and attack freely in an action-oriented arena.
这辈子玩过的最爽乙游,女主完全处在上位简直是特别特别棒啊!!! [spoiler]伪兄妹骨,真兄妹骨,伪父女骨,火爆小辣椒,温柔男鬼,蛇尾,章鱼触手,人鱼,双性神,福瑞小狐狸,覆面系,年上带锁怨夫,黑皮大奶带球跑,假前夫哥,训诫play忠犬,艾斯爱慕play小狗,萌妹下属,阴暗眯眯眼,欢喜冤家,绿茶男,佛子,人夫play,救风尘play[/spoiler],简直是要什么有什么,应有尽有啊!!! 没玩过这么刺激的当万人迷海王的游戏,玩乙游见一个爱一个的一定要玩一下!!! 大地图探索内容很多,前期感觉满满都是惊喜!后期略有点疲乏了只想过主线,但仍然有超多差分小剧情 唯一缺点就是,因为可攻略对象太多,每个人的个人线没那么长,但是内容也挺多的 坐等更新啊啊啊
从预购开始玩了一年多,总体感觉应该说是虎头蛇尾,开篇很好,一开始的几次更新也都不错。但是逐渐感觉到制作组似乎不那么上心了。人物势力写了很多但是到后面都是浅尝辄止,几乎对结局没有什么影响。可攻略任务用的套路怎么说,相当老套吧。12章的更新感觉很草率没什么东西。属于是遗憾之作。
女孩子终于有可以玩的大女主爽文了~~~~~太激动了。对于男孩子这样的作品可能都玩腻了吧,但对于女孩子真的是第一步。算是简化版剧情向星露谷物语吧~有很多反讽现实的重男轻女的吐槽在游戏里。这个女主很强大,不需要被救,女孩子终于不是娇妻了我泪目55555555~~~~~~!!!!
感觉是我了解过最尊重女尊TAG的女尊世界观,连各种细微地方的用词也会改变,我觉得制造了一个非常有趣新奇的视角看待两性关系。主线搞事业升官,支线可以开后宫泡男人玩的很爽啊。很想夸一下每个男主在主线里面的差分剧情以及各种小事件里面的差分剧情,文本工作量很大但是有好好做了,感受得到作者对自己游戏的热爱和用心。总之就是如果爱吃女尊和GB的话会很好玩的一个游戏!
是男女对调很彻底的男生子女尊爽文。文本量和CG量巨大,42r是绝对的物超所值。 缺点是男角色柔弱、患得患失、故事背景很封建;优点是爽文、只有女主调戏别人没有别人调戏女主。 用语上男女对调也非常彻底,传达出强烈的讽刺和戏谑感。例如“须眉不让巾帼”、“枭雌”、“匹妇之勇”。 剧情上有[spoiler]“被婚约者污蔑在外面有人,父母觉得很丢脸所以毒死了”、“意外怀孕勇敢追求爱情,被强制打胎”、[/spoiler]“父母对耀祖明说家产都是耀祖的,而另一个孩子是赔钱货”,这看了跟照镜子有什么区别,这种扎心的剧情处处都是。 感情描写上有的角色爱上得有点太迅速,撬墙角撬得太轻易,看了有点可怜被戴绿帽的人。 可攻略角色确实是各有千秋的,有背德的、有妖魔鬼怪、有未亡人,XP大爆发,每个都很带感!而且有丰富的身世背景和人物关系可供挖掘,带情缘角色到处逛和找人对话很有意思,可以看到很多剧情里没写的人际关系和人物背景。 另外虽然可行动时间很多,但是3月以后基本上(照着攻略)做完新增支线、刷完好感就可以跳时间走主线和过节了。数值给得很慷慨,3月后基本上没有被卡过,不用重复地刷属性这点对我很友好。
