Free demo out now

The Linwu: Spirit Beast Ranch demo is live on Steam. Raise a spirit beast from its first week, earn its trust, and take it up the cups from rank E to rank C.

A note on the demo: every beast's lifespan is cut to 36 weeks so you can see one whole life in one demo run. In the full game a beast starts with 300 to 500 weeks depending on breed, around 6 to 10 in-game years.

Linwu: Spirit Beast Ranch is a monster-raising sim built around one idea: nothing lasts forever, and that's the point.

Raise Your Beast

Summon a spirit beast at the Shrine and bring it home to your ranch. Every week you choose how it spends its time: drills to sharpen a technique, rest to recover, feeding to keep it growing. Push too hard without rest and stress builds, and stress genuinely shortens a beast's life. That trade-off runs through the whole game, not as flavor text. It decides how long you get with each beast you raise.

Fight for Titles

Enter your beast in tournament cups and rival courts, either playing its fights yourself or letting it auto-battle while you manage the ranch. Choose from 50 spirit beast breeds, each fighting with its own set of techniques, and build its record across a season of standings and placement rewards.

When a Life Ends, a Line Begins

When a beast's life ends, its story doesn't just stop. An Ascension ceremony closes it out, and Fusion lets you carry what it built into a new heir: a fresh beast that starts back at the bottom but carries the line's discoveries forward. Some Fusion combinations unlock breeds you won't find any other way.

Beyond the Ranch

Beyond the ranch, journeys through distinct regions bring new opponents, new breeds, and new reasons to keep a lineage going.
