This work is expected to be released in stages in 2025. The early access version will be a buy-to-own single-player content, launching on Steam at the beginning of 2025. The official version will then switch to a free-to-play model with in-app purchases, rolling out on mobile and PC platforms from mid to late 2025. Everyone can check the game's section on Wandoujia. The new version of the game focuses on side-scrolling 2.5D sandbox exploration and turn-based battles. Players will take on the role of "Zero," gathering companions in a post-apocalyptic world to fight against planetary "immune system" disasters.

The game combines sandbox exploration with turn-based strategy. Battles are not about mindless speed but require predicting enemy moves and skill combos. For example, using an assassin to trigger a backstab or having a tank taunt and gather enemies before a mage casts an area-of-effect spell. The home system allows players to freely build bases, with weather changes and NPC AI behaviors making each login a new experience, such as a rainstorm washing away unfortified walls, or a shota teammate accidentally burning your crops.

All playable characters are shota, with distinct personalities ranging from a tsundere wolf to a gentle healer. The main character, "Zero," is voiced by the famous voice actor Shan Xin, whose mysterious background and connection to the planet's will are gradually revealed as the story progresses. Side quests are filled with dark humor, like helping an NPC find their lost pet, only to discover it's actually a "disaster detector" disguised as a corgi.

Built with the Unreal Engine, the game features vivid scenes, such as blood-red tides contrasting with glowing plants in the ruins. Battle effects are splendid without being overwhelming, especially during ultimate moves—such as summoning a giant whale shadow to crush enemies, where the screen briefly shifts to an ink-wash style, enhancing immersion.

If you're tired of the conventional tropes in 2D games, this all-shota title might offer a fresh experience. It has the strategic depth of Octopath Traveler and the daily life charm of Animal Crossing, such as planning your farm while guarding against teammates who might eat your strawberries.
