About The Way of the Wind
The Way of the Wind is a fantasy visual novel made by Tanus Games in Ren'Py, featuring animated 2D CG artwork. You play as an Imperial Prince who returns from mountain solitude to claim his birthright in an empire built by his father's centuries-long rule. The story follows court politics, hidden history, and personal choices as one event exposes fractures in the empire and reveals truths that could restore or destroy the legacy. Themes include fantasy, romance, and superpowers.
The current build is v0.1.0, the initial release, so development is ongoing. It was released on March 5, 2025 for Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The prologue is complete and takes about half an hour to two hours to play. The update adds four fully animated explicit scenes.

When a single event sends ripples through the foundations of power, the veils of history begin to unravel. In the corridors of court and the whispers of the past, you will uncover truths that could mend a crumbling legacy—or shatter it beyond repair.
