Primary: our account is set as the home Xbox of your console ("My home Xbox"), so the game is shared with your own profile and works offline — that is one slot on one console. Secondary: you sign in to our account and launch the game from it, and the console has to stay online. The activation code is an extra option: it is redeemed on your own account, and the game stays there forever.
You install the game from our account and set our account as the home one ("My home Xbox"): after that you play from your own profile, and the progress and achievements stay yours. It works offline.
You sign in to our account and play right from it. A permanent internet connection is required and only the issued profile can be used. It costs less than the primary access.
A bonus way to buy: you get a 25-character code and redeem it on your own account. The game stays with you forever, no other profiles and no sign-in to a shared account.

Murders on the Yangtze River is a Chinese-style side-scrolling detective adventure game developed by OMEGAMES STUDIO.
There is no such thing as a perfect crime — only clues that have yet to be discovered.
- Every Trace Leaves a Mark -
Set in the turbulent era of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, where ancient and modern, Eastern and Western cultures collided and intertwined, you will step into the role of the protagonist and become entangled in an unavoidable conspiracy.
Seemingly unrelated events gradually lead you toward a massive mystery and the secrets hidden behind your own identity.
A lie is simply a fact disguised in another form. Can you uncover the truth hidden beneath layers of deception and piece together the final answer from a series of intertwined cases?
- A Meticulously Crafted Logic-Based Mystery -
During your journey, you will encounter a series of bizarre and perplexing cases. To uncover the truth behind each incident and identify the culprit, you will need to:
Explore different locations as the story unfolds, searching for every hidden clue and subtle detail.
Investigate crime scenes, collect evidence, and question witnesses.
Even uncover contradictions and loopholes hidden within the testimonies you have gathered...
- Intricate Cases with Twists and Turns -
The seemingly unrelated cases that occur across different locations are, in fact, connected by countless threads to the greater mystery surrounding the protagonist.
Behind every case lies an ingenious method of crime and a deeply moving motive.
Every ordinary person carries their own complicated past, with countless hidden conflicts and entangled relationships.
Can you unravel every layer of the mystery, discover the ultimate truth behind the grand case, and complete your journey of revenge?
- A Breathtaking Chinese Ink Painting World -
Follow a beautifully unfolding ink-wash scroll as you travel through the landscapes of China over a century ago.
Sail across Dongting Lake and encounter the historic Yueyang Tower once again;
Travel along the Yangtze River and explore the steampunk-inspired Hanyang Iron Works;
Wander through the misty waterways and elegant scenery of Jiangnan in Yangzhou;
Step into the dazzling streets of Shanghai’s foreign concessions and experience the city's retro modernity from a century ago...
Every scene is carefully crafted like a living painting, inviting you to experience local cultures, explore historical landscapes, and solve mysteries across different regions.
- Meticulously Researched Historical and Cultural Design -
The game's world, art style, and environments are based on extensive research from museum archives, historical photographs, and discussions with experts in history and culture.
The story is built upon real historical backgrounds, recreating the architecture, landscapes, and social atmosphere of China over a hundred years ago.
From carefully researched character costumes to authentic everyday objects, every detail is designed to immerse you in the rich historical and cultural atmosphere of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
