What is the story in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers?
Become Wuchang, a skilled pirate warrior struck by amnesia, who must navigate the uncertainties of her mysterious past while afflicted by the horrific Ornithropy disease. Explore the depths of Shu, enhancing your arsenal and mastering new skills harvested from fallen foes.

Battle against grotesque abominations, drawing on ancient lore to challenge the creeping darkness that threatens the humanity that remains. Your quest for truth will take you through forgotten temples, overgrown ruins, and shadowed paths fraught with peril. As you piece together Wuchang's lost memories, your choices will lead you to one of several endings—each determined by the choices made, secrets unearthed and the allies you choose to trust.
Immerse yourself in a rich storyline, dynamic combat system, and breathtaking visuals that offer an unforgettable adventure through lands veiled in chaos and death. Will you reveal the truths of Wuchang's curse and bring peace to Shu, or will you succumb to the encroaching horrors? The fate of the land rests in your hands.
How does the Inner Demon system work?
The Inner Demon System is a unique system that provides both punishment and reward to the player depending on how well they can control it. For example, the Inner Demon attacks both enemies and the player indiscriminately, but skilled players can use this to their advantage by luring it to help defeat powerful enemies.
Sometimes I take status damage too quickly. What’s going on?
If you're being instantly killed or suffering rapid status effect buildup, please check your armor. Different armor sets offer different resistance attributes.
I sometimes lose track of what I’m supposed to do next. What should I do?
The game has a linear main line and a semi-open design. If you get lost, look around for landmark structures in the environment to reorient yourself and find your path forward.
The game is too hard. Now what?
WUCHANG: Fallen Feather is a souls-like game, a genre that is known for its difficulty! Still, there are a number of things you can try to make your game easier.
You can farm enemies: Kill all the enemies you can, get their rewards, enter the Dream, and respawn enemies. You can rinse and repeat to get the materials needed for your upgrades.
Increase your weapon mastery in the Impetus Repository: This will boost your weapon damage.
Choose your armor according to your enemy: Prefer armor that has mitigation against the kind of attacks your enemy uses. This will help reduce the damage taken.
Choose your weapon according to your enemy: Just like armor, some weapons will deal greater damage to certain enemies. Try different status effects and weapons to see what feels the best for you.
Learn your enemy's pattern: Learning your enemy's attack pattern and when they are open to being hit will help you dodge and combine your attacks more easily. If you think you need the training, try a run where you only dodge and do not attack.
Utilize your equipment: Equipping the right pendants and using Tempering can also help. Be sure to equip Tempering Acupoint Needles at Shrines, then activate them using the Temperance item in combat.
Don't forget the whistle: In some fights, you can use a Bone Whistle item to call in help.
Sell unnecessary items: Selling items you don’t need will earn you currencies to level and get stronger.
Explore the world more: There might be more things to be discovered that will help you along in your journey!
The game encourages you to adapt your playstyle frequently, as reallocating your Red Mercury Essences can be done at any time and free of charge.
