Original Steam description
‘Xian Cang’ is a pixel-style, ancient-themed desktop idle management game.
✦ Idle Management: Customers come and go, dropping coins. Save up to upgrade prosperity; the busier your shop, the more money you make.
✦Offline Local AI Dialogue: NPCs will talk to themselves, each with their own unique personality. The game bundles an open-source language model (Qwen2.5) that runs entirely on your player's machine — no internet connection or API key needed.
✦ Dark Chess Battles: Three difficulty levels AI, local PvP, matches last just a few minutes.
✦ Hide and Seek: Detective chases thief, black fog vision, shapeshifting, supports multiplayer.
✦ Friend Co-building: Invite friends to run the shop together, each contributes to prosperity; they can help fend off sword attacks from invaders.
✦ 20 Achievements, 3 Global Leaderboards, Creative Workshop map subscriptions.
✦ Natural Disasters / Hourly Events / Stray Cats / Holiday Easter Eggs... there’s always something new every time you enter. Collect NPCs in the catalog, each has their own story.
The window only takes up a third of your screen – perfect for sneaky work breaks and glancing while idle.
