About
Song of Nanzhao is a music-driven puzzle game inspired by traditional Chinese folk music, particularly the Nanzhao Fengsheng music. This vertical slice presents the first chapter of the game.
In the year 798 AD, war swept across the land. The Tang Dynasty launched massive conscription campaigns, leaving border kingdoms in turmoil. For years, the Nanzhao Kingdom clashed with the Tang in endless conflict.
Born into this chaos, you are a court musician—silent by birth, but never voiceless. With music as your only bridge to the world, you must carry the hope of a nation longing for peace.

Wander through an ancient Chinese village during a time of war. Meet villagers shaped by hardship, uncover their personal stories, and build trust through empathy and kindness. Use music to interact with people and the world around you.

Every object has its own sound. Listen closely, and you’ll hear melodies hidden in the world. Learn and record these melodies using a pentatonic system based on the five elements. Each note is a tool—helping you speak, unlock secrets, and gather key items.

Use your music to solve puzzles, unlock forgotten memories, and progress through the story. Whether you're delivering the right tune to a villager or playing a melody to open sealed paths, every note you play brings you one step closer to understanding the past—and shaping what’s to come.

As the musician of Nanzhao, your melodies carry more than sound—they carry meaning, memory, and hope. In a world scarred by war, can music offer a path to peace?

从B站评论来的,既然是免费游戏,还讲的南诏,那还是打个好评鼓励一下 但既然要向老外介绍南诏或者说是中华音乐的文化,这个游戏有太多误导了 从历史背景上:苍山会盟发生在794年,798年南诏不仅没有和大唐打仗,他们甚至还是对抗吐蕃的盟友 从音乐文化背景上:唐朝用的是工尺谱,宫商角徵羽应该记为合四乙尺工。最离谱的是古筝怎么可能用羊肠作弦,你猜猜“丝竹之声”里的“丝”是什么意思? 这类型的错误还有很多,先更正一下吧,评论区里已经有老外被误导了
Nanzhao Şarkısı, antik Çin'de geçen müzik odaklı bir bulmaca macerasıdır. Sessiz bir saray müzisyeni olarak, doğadan alınan pentatonik melodileri kullanarak bulmacaları çözün, gizli hikayeleri ortaya çıkarın ve köylülerle bağlantı kurarak sesin gücüyle huzuru arayın.
[h1] I thought it was just another game where you just hit the spacebar and go through the whole story! But it turned out to be something really interesting! It's 798 AD and war is coming! Music as your only bridge to the world! [/h1]

before evertyhing, for the dev: huge shoutout! thanks a lot for the update! - i had a perfomance issue and got this special care, and it worked great! game runs smooth now ;;; just finished the game, and it was something very special. it's a short game, but a really calming and beautiful one when you play as a silent musician in ancient china, using music. the vibe is super chill, just walking around and listening, seeking to unlock stuff. the puzzles are more about the mood and the history than difficulty. the art (characters, cutscenes) are soft and peaceful, kinda painterly like a scroll. technical side: i missed the save option - i am not professional in game-making, so also i don't know how difficult is to add this kind of thing either. i had two or three scenery bugs too, but nothing that seriously hindered my game. i recommend if you are into something more story-driven and calm, that make you slow down for a bit. it's worth.
