The Valley: XuGu

The Valley: XuGu is a casual deck-building roguelike game that blends Taoist alchemy with cyber technology. Players can combine herbs based on their grades and elemental attributes to create unique alchemy recipes and refine distinct elixirs. These pills can help those who enter Xugu. In XuGU, the core gameplay is not typical combat but alchemy, a dialogue with oneself - alchemy is akin to refining one's heart. Players have strong strategic control during the pill-making process. They can freely combine herbs based on their grades and elemental attributes to create unique pill recipes and refine elixirs with distinctive properties. During the refinement process, players can intervene in various ways, such as using "symbols, talismans, spells, techniques, and rituals." Each choice the player makes will significantly affect the final pill's properties, allowing them to fully experience the satisfaction brought by "self-expression" and "self-fulfillment" in the alchemy process.
