About This Game After death, you did not ascend to heaven. You were not sent to hell to be punished. You were chosen. A brand-new project from the Underworld Television Network is about to begin. Pixiu, the hellish producer from the Haunted Mansion universe, is sending you back to the Middle Ages. But this is not reincarnation. This is a livestream. A time-travel reality show watched by the audience of hell. You must survive among queens, princes, nobles, the Church, and traitors. In just thirty days, you must rise from a discarded pawn awaiting execution into someone capable of rewriting the fate of a kingdom. You Thought This Was a Power Fantasy. Hell Is Watching You Perform. The Bastard Who Rewrote the Empire is a story-driven visual novel that blends medieval court intrigue, hellish reality television, and dramatic power-fantasy reversals. The protagonist was once an ordinary man from modern Hong Kong. After death, he is chosen by the Underworld Television Network to become the star of a show called The Bastard Who Rewrote the Empire . His soul is placed inside the body of a king’s bastard son, and when he wakes up, he is already standing in a courtroom, accused of poisoning the king. No power. No army. No one he can truly trust. The only thing he can rely on is the “System” given to him by the production team from hell. See Through Lies. Use People’s Hearts. Rewrite Fate. In this kingdom, every sentence may be a trap, and every choice may change your relationship with the characters around you. Through the System, you can see the numerical value of lies and judge whether a person’s words are true or false. You can also build relationships through affection, unlocking different forms of assistance and character abilities. Some will betray you. Some will use you. And some, depending on your choices, may change from pawns into companions. But never forget: all of this is being broadcast live. The audience of hell is watching you struggle, strike back, and fall apart, waiting for you to deliver the next even greater twist. In Thirty Days, You Will Return to Reality This medieval survival show lasts only thirty days. You may choose to be a player who only wants to survive, or you may truly intervene in the fate of this kingdom. Expose conspiracies. Regain trust. Recruit allies. Challenge the queen. Build your own path to survival in the rotten heart of power. But when everyone begins to place their hopes on you, you will finally realize: Power is not a reward. Being needed is the heaviest curse of all. Features A brand-new follow-up to the Haunted Mansion universe, revealing another side of the Underworld Television Network and its hellish programs. A Hong Kong man dies and is sent to the Middle Ages, becoming a despised bastard prince. A blend of court conspiracy, courtroom deduction, power-fantasy reversals, and character-focused routes.

Survive, turn the tables, and perhaps even rewrite the future of an entire kingdom within thirty days.
