Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll

Let your creativity roam free, unbounded by rules. The world awaits for you to give it shape like clay under your fingertips in Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll, a Zen hex-tile building game that puts the power of creation in your hands. Qianli offers a mix of creative freedom, puzzle challenge, and roguelite elements to create a uniquely playful and tranquil, yet challenging experience.

Inspired by cozy, Zen-like puzzle and diorama-building games like Dorfromantik, Townscaper, Pan’orama, Tiny Glade, Islanders, or Preserve, Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll offers its unique twist to the genre along with a breathtaking art style, inspired by A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, one of the most beautiful masterpieces of Chinese ink and watercolor art.

Unlike other city- and hex-tile building games, in Qianli you won’t be limited by any terrain restrictions. Place each piece freely, following only your instinct. You may be chasing a high score, or simply enjoying a peaceful session of beauty and creation: the choice is yours.

There is a soul in everything: in the landscape, in the peace of nature, in the buildings your people inhabit. Throughout your journey, you’ll encounter Scenlings – beings born from traditional Chinese poems and songs, given shape after centuries amassing energy. Each has its own history, distinct personality, and unique abilities – and will bring an extra layer of strategic depth to your landscapes while you explore the story behind each of them.

Misty mountains, unfathomable blue lakes, deep forests, twinding paths – all elements of classic Chinese landscape paintings are yours to combine freely. But magic happens when certain tiles meet: a path reaching water forms a dock, a trail near a famed peak reveals the gates of an ancient temple. Experiment and explore to uncover every magical interaction.

Step into a living landscape painting where every brushstroke tells a story. Whether you seek a relaxing journey, a creative escape, or a test of skill, you can enjoy the world at your own pace.
