SO after the disaster of posting about such incline, I've decided to post a Let's Play instead and let my fellow trolls judge this game by its true color.
The Story of The Scroll of Taiwu appears to be one of SM rivalry, between a being capable of retaining powers through reincarnation or possession and another being of greater-but-darker-power who tries to convert/subvert/dominate the other being, and in the process destroy the world by converting everyone to demons. The purpose of the game is to defeat the final boss and save the world, problem is, it's currently too hardcore to get to that stage. You'll see what I mean as we continue the game.
The first option in the Early Access game is the tutorial, which blends the backstory with guide on how to play the game, because it's quite a mash of genres that you'll see when we actually starts playing.
So after saying tutorials are for pus, I mean tran, ... the weak, we start off creating our first character.
This game gives you three slots for character, and it saves in iron man ONLY.
Here's the character creation screen:
SO currently my name is Dam and my Surname is Hot, by English tradition I'm Dam Hot, by Chinese tradition I'm Hot Dam.
The part below defines what kind of person you are. It ranges from Paladin, Goody-good, Neutral, Chaotic Evil, and Selfish Bastard.
Basically you can pick one or pick in between, but the current implementation doesn't let you pick non-immediate stands.
FOR Example, I'm currently between Neutral and Goody-good, so I can pick options from these two stands, and it will shift the slider.
This DOES have an impact on game play, ranging from different bonuses (due to the actions limited by your stand) to different way of interacting with people. Since the final boss is hot after you, when your MOOD decrease to an alarming point it will start the conversion. And once the character gets converted you have to pick your successor/next body to possess or it will be a RNG toss.
Here's the paper doll screen.
Yes the art style is not top notch, but it's good for now and the asset is mod-able.
Also, as a part of incline how your paper doll look does impact your APPearance, and how others act toward you.
You can also play as a feminine man (per the image) or a manly woman, and it will also impact your APP.
Below the gender on the lower left is your AGE, you can pick from 16 through 30.
Age is important because every char in the world has a set number of years they can live, it depends on RNG and character stat and internal voodoo, and it's important because it determines how many action points you get to spend per month (we'll get to it when we actually starts playing).
Further below you get to pick which of the twelve time period you were born, and it gives you natural bonuses and weaknesses.
This here is where you pick your SPECIAL characteristics.
Most of them are NOT traits, but instead a buff on various different stat, grants bonus materials/items/tools/books and what not.
Of special note is one that will set your influence to a certain level independent of your APP, I mean Chrisma, a must pick if you look like a deep dweller.
Also I hacked the shit so I can pick any of them I want, 10 being the limit. The default is some has certain requirements, point you have to spend before you can unlock the characteristic.
Then we come to pick where we are born, and surrounding environments.
It's kind of important, because you are also picking the closest clan that you'll go study, and surrounding maps/clans that you can access sooner.
Surrounding environments also determine to an extent what kind of resources are of abundance near your base, and what kind of sub-maps are primarily generated in you base map.
Clans are important because they are your primary way of learning Kungfu, or power. They are also your primary source of teammates etc.
For example, the current starting clan is a clan primarily of Female Chi practitioners. And their Chi-power focuses on getting themselves prettier.
They also happens to be good at moving fast and using their musical instruments to kill. Their finger method is not bad either.
Since I know most of you don't speak Chinese, I'll explain:
Top left is the map look of this clan, the top right is a description, and below is your support rating in this clan.
What level of power you can learn at this clan depends on how many of its disciples/masters support you, and from left to right there are 9 distinct classes.
Pay attention to the color cause it's a sure sign of the class of items you will receive/craft/buy etc., beige being class 9 and lowest level, red being class 1 and highest level.
The six lines are from top to bottom: Chi-style, Movement-style, Specialty, Fist and Palm method, Finger method, and Music instrument.
The amount of shits you'll learn in this game.
And finally before world gen and character generation, we get to pick the settings/difficulty of the world.
1st line is for character's life duration. Having good and bad sides it doesn't affect the difficulty.
2nd line is for difficulty of battle. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE picking DIFFICULT (2nd option) WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE.
The 3rd and 4th choice are locked because you can be certain that unless you've completed a round of the game you are doomed from the start (unless you hack).
3rd line is for the number of enemies the world will generate.
4th line is for the rate of conversion the final boss have on this world and on you.
5th line is for the abundance of resources the world generates.
And last but not least, the option to toggle picking successor and randomly possessing people.
Now my fellow Codexian, I'm open to suggestions, bring it ON~
Oh, you can also pick a troll, maybe I'll mod it in and use it instead as the avatar.

Yes, your stats have different effective rate at different age and increase or decrease depending on your age, you also get different AP pools at different age, and some of your stat (Charisma currently) doesn't apply at all until you mature into adulthood at age 16 (which is the minimum at char creation).
