About New One Studio
We are an independent team focused on interactive storytelling, dedicated to innovatively blending Eastern culture with interactive media. In 2019, everyone who journeyed with The Invisible Guardian shared its BAFTA glory, reaffirming that great interactive storytelling can truly stay in people's hearts. Over the past few years, we have immersed ourselves in the prosperous ancient Chinese dynasty, brewing an entirely new story. Road to Empress not only depicts the deadly beauty of Eastern intrigue, but it also brings the audience a battlefield that will test your wisdom and courage.
Two works, different stories, one shared vision—we hope users worldwide can once again experience the charm of traditional Eastern culture through our story. It will serve as a bridge across cultures, bringing a brand-new experience to every user who supports FMV works.
In Road to Empress, you will personally write the epic of a ruling empress. Road to Empress I focuses on her legendary origins—watch how she transforms from an unknown girl into someone who survives the deadly power struggles of a crisis-ridden court through wisdom and courage, gradually emerging as a formidable force.
In Road to Empress II, you return as a seasoned master, and the stakes are brutally higher. Pull the strings from the shadows, keep your ministers in check, and unify an empire amid calculated scheming. You will write every word of a golden age yourself!

女主还挺好看,剧情图一乐当沙雕同人文看就行(与正史几乎完全无关,是一个平行世界下的女频同人创作,正史爱好者慎入)
演的真好,UI也做的很棒,非常沉浸式的体验呜呜呜

可能是我期待太高了,我原以为许多选项会有着不一样的剧情与养成,但实际上那些选项大多就是为了互动而互动,以及早已经预设好了“正确”答案的选择题,并不会为玩家带来另一个世界,只是在考验玩家能否不死,能否一命通关。也就是说,我原本期待一场开放世界的盛宴,结果是BOSS刷的预制菜。也许是我的问题,这部作品在情绪渲染,摄影,服化道,剧情与演员上都很不错,但我最看重的还是一款游戏的游戏性。当我发现这款游戏绝大多数的选项真的是有正确答案,而也是为了让玩家通向最终选项的时候,我的失望感淹没了其他所有正面情绪。或许是我的问题,同类游戏中第一次接触的就是海沙风云,那种开放多元,真正的多线让人对这类游戏的预期都过高了。不过,女王篇打折时,我应该还会买,毕竟如果有中评我肯定给中评,可惜没有,如果打分那就是59分。

好玩!!!和朋友一起玩的,又有宫斗又有恋爱 爽!!!
好玩好玩好玩,一步步闯关往上走的感觉很好,虽然在这个过程中解锁了各种死法,光桂花汤就没少喝。还有就是闺蜜我真的不是不救辩机,我每个选项都试了一遍发现怎么选都是死,闺蜜我的绝望不比你少。闺蜜你恨我没关系,我爱你。
