Set in the late Tang Dynasty in 848 AD, players take on the role of a nameless messenger who embarks on a perilous eastward journey to deliver a message that holds the fate of his homeland. The game’s setting in the last years of the Tang Dynasty provides a cultural landmark of Chinese history that frames the story with customs, culture, and the rich history of the era. Alongside his son, they must survive relentless enemy sieges and a treacherous 1,000 mile odyssey, fighting against impossible odds to return to the heart of the Tang Dynasty: Chang'an. Cross lethal landscapes, including desolate deserts and the vast wilderness of East and Central Asia, to survive brutal sieges, unforgiving terrain, and overwhelming odds. Amidst the desert sands, they etch the final tale of loyalty in the Great Tang. When history forgets, warriors remember.
The world has heard too many stories of emperors and generals—Blood Message is an ode to the unsung heroes.
