‘The Hungry Lamb’ Visual Novel Reveals Switch Launch Trailer
Visual novels are a very unique gaming experience. Okay, to be fair, they’re not for everyone’s taste, as there are players who cannot enjoy this type of gameplay, and that is fine, but for those who like them (yours truly included), we have some great news!
A new visual novel game, The Hungry Game, with art inspired by Chinese art and traditions, has just released its launch trailer and we are happy to provide you with the teaser below.
Before we reveal some information about the game, here is the teaser:
So, what is the game about? Here is the official information we have:
During Chongzhen’s Reign (A.D. 1628-1644), land annexation reached unmitigated extremes, the country faced domestic issues and foreign invasions, coinciding with the catastrophic Little Ice Age. After many years of horrid disasters in succession one after another, the Ming court continued to impose inhumane policies resulting in widespread starvation and leading to the rise of multiple rebellions against the court.
Liang the bandit, and his companion are commissioned for a job from an unsavory merchant and must escort four girls to a wealthy lord in the city of Luoyang. They must pass through Huazhou, Wenxiang, Shanzhou, and finally reach their destination of Luoyang.
Liang initially believes that the girls he is escorting will be sold to the wealthy lord as adopted daughters to begin a new life. However, one of the four girls named “Sui” reveals the hidden secret of their journey to Luoyang.
The lord is a swine demon who has practiced devouring young ladies for over a thousand years. Every year on his birthday, he dispatches human traffickers to abduct girls from Shan in celebration of his special day. Sui’s sister was among the many who have fallen victim to the demon’s appetite.
Sui is hopeful that Liang will end the escort and join her in assassinating the swine demon to avenge her sister, and those who have perished in recent years. Although Liang wants to believe Sui, there are too many inconsistencies in her story. Throughout the journey, Liang will gather information, unravel the truth, and make his decisions accordingly.
The PC game has been available on Steam since 2024 and now Switch users can also enjoy the highly-rated game.
