Story Overview

The story takes place in the ancient mountain stronghold of Jiantan.
As a child, Lin Chengdong entered into a mysterious spiritual contract with the City God.

The contract erased his memories of the agreement and sealed his fate—

he will die at the age of 21 and serve as one of the City God’s spiritual officers afterward.

Years later, with the final year of his life already underway, an unexpected visitor appears:

Alice — the acting City God.

She asks for his cooperation, but her request is shocking:

She wants Lin Chengdong to give up his remaining year of life and assume the duties of the City God immediately.

As mysteries, vengeful spirits, and century-old grudges intertwine,

your choices will determine his fate — and the fate of the entire mountain stronghold.

This is the inner world of someone you care about — and the labyrinth you must face

Inside the Yuan-Chen Palace, a hallucination-filled mental landscape:

• Enemies born from resentment and inner turmoil

• Obstacles formed from rejection, anger, and obsession

• Clues guided by precious memories

A dangerous and beautiful world where reality and the mind overlap.

Turn-Based Combat × Horizontal Positioning × SAN (Sanity) System

Combat blends tactical decision-making with psychological tension:

• Positioning is key to avoiding strange and deadly supernatural attacks

• Spirit Descension buffs and ally cover help you overcome difficult encounters

• The lower your SAN, the more unstable your abilities become

  • At the breaking point, beneficial effects may even backfire

Both tactics and mental stability are essential.

Maintain your sanity to survive the crisis.

Temple Life: Management × Bonds × Events

Between battles and expeditions, return to the City God Temple:

• Handle daily affairs and take part in stroll events → Increase the stronghold’s reputation

• Bond with yokai officers → Strengthen relationships and unlock their individual story chapters

• Upgrade facilities, create puppets, manage resources, and strengthen abilities

Experience a daily life in which the supernatural gradually becomes ordinary.

Whether you come for the story, the atmosphere, the combat, or the strategy,

City God Alice offers a supernatural RPG experience unlike any other.
