The indie RPG Rainblood: Town of Death is making the trip all the way from China to scare the bejeezus out of you. Or at least they hope. It was mostly made in RPG Creator and boasts a complex plot and tells the adventure of a tragic bladesman, a dark drama in a deserted town, and an invisible power.

Pang, a small but once-popular town just within the borders of Central Land was seized by plague by the time a mysterious black-dressed man arrived.
As soon as he had come, he could feel the incessant footsteps of his enemies—those sent by the very man he wished to see, but dared not. Twisted murderers appeared in Pang, and old friends now sent as his assassins. Then came the little girl whose violent death took place before his eyes, and whose laughter haunts him still…
He has no choice but fight back. Even so, it seems that another clue remains hidden beneath these strange proceedings; what awaits him is a plot even more complex than he could have imagined.

Maybe too “story-telling” for an RPG, the game tells a short but complex plot and a dramatic love story with darkness, in a background of traditional Chinese Martial world but with many weird stuff such as a strange samurai without head and machine-like killers. The total time in story is just one day and space is in a deserted town, but with montages and disordered story lines, it wants to be nearer to an art piece.
The game has been a great challange to a non-native English speaker in translation, thank to my three native English speaking friends, Satus, WolfCrimson and Farfus, who have helped to modified about 75% of the dialogues, in order to keep as much as possible literature quality.


Central Land is where the game takes place. It is a fantasy world in ancient China style. Actually, “Central Land” is from “Central Empire”, which stands for China in the past. The Chinese for China is “中国”, if you translate it literally, it means “Empire in the center”. However the “Central Land” in the game refers to no real age or location of the history of China.
Martial World means the community of the people with martial art. It is like in Harry Potter people are divided as “Wizard” and “Muggle”. There are several background setting in the traditional or modern martial novels for this “Martial World”, such as “Shaolin” and “Wudang” clans, the game keeps some of these settings but the major part is something original.
