Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio 2: Fox Sister

Game premise and setting

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio 2: Fox Sister is a narrative-driven game set during the Late Tang dynasty, a period characterized by turmoil and the rise of supernatural entities. You play as the second son of a general, traveling south with two sisters: your ghost elder sister and your fox-spirit younger sister. The goal is to find a legendary paradise amidst the chaos of the haunted Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun.

Characters and story background

The game adapts the short story "Ying Ning" from Pu Songling's collection "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio." One prominent character is Yingning, described as a white-haired girl aged 100,014 years, with a human-demon bloodline. This background leads to her being rejected by both humans and the fox tribe, adding complexity to her role in the story.
