Enter a world of mystic serenity and surpassing beauty in search of the ending to a tragic romance in The Legend of Lotus Spring. This first-person role-playing game in the style of Myst and Amerzone takes players on a tour through a lost archaeological treasure--China's Garden of Perfect Brightness--which was burned by the British and French during the 1860 Opium War. As you visit the stunningly rendered structures, courtyards, and pools within the garden, you are in search of Lotus Spring, a lover of the emperor Xian Feng. Imprisoned in the garden by the jealous Dowager Empress, Lotus Spring has now disappeared. Fearing for his lover's life, Xian Feng has returned to the garden to discover her fate.

Set in 19th-century China, this legend is the story of Emperor Xian Feng and his love for a beautiful Han concubine named HeHanQu. The emperor renamed her Lotus Spring because, just like the flower, she possessed a delicate beauty. As she grows from a young girl who is forced to leave home to save her family, she develops strong character, warmth, and a spiritual soul.
