About the Story

You are an ancient Chinese poet in exile at a beautifully scenic location, but... you miss your friends very much. Go about your day haunted by how badly you've been treated by the emperor while also worrying that he's being taken advantage of by bad-faith officials at court, drink lots of wine, stare at rivers, and also the moon.

Optional but recommended soundtrack for this game: "The Fisherman's Song at Dusk" by Hong Ting

Content warnings: Alcoholism, metaphorical suicide.

Any errors in historical portrayal are entirely my own. This project is wholly born from vibes and period dramas with haphazard research in-between.

Ratings and Reviews

and you fill your days with melancholy, June 9, 2024

you are an ancient chinese poet in exile is a short poetic day in the life of an Ancient Chinese poet in exile. Almost kinetic, with subtle variation between your choice of activities, you wake up in a beautiful scenic location, alone and maybe a bit lonely too, filling your day with distractions and reminiscing over your fate, sealing the day with a few poetic lines. It is delightful, both in the calmness of the setting, the bitterness of past events, and the melancholy of it all. Lovely!
