A Chinese adventure about a “tomb raider” with evil spirits and puzzles is being removed from Steam. Farewell to Magyu Studio's creation

A few years later, Magyu Studio decided to stop distributing the unusual adventure steeped in Chinese mythology

In 2024, Magyu Studio brought up its project GuLady 蛊婆 (or 蛊婆 Lady in Tomb) again, but the occasion was not a very positive one. The decision was made to withdraw the game from sale.

GuLady 蛊婆 was developed by Magyu Studio, a small five-person team, on Unreal Engine 4. The project is steeped in the atmosphere of Chinese mythology.

The protagonist of GuLady 蛊婆 acts as an impromptu “tomb raider”: her mother was the village's last “guardian”, but disappeared ten years ago, leaving the local lands plagued by pestilence and ghosts. Now turned 16, she was supposed to become the new “guardian”, and everything was prepared for the ritual, but one of the spirits required for it broke free, prompting the girl's sister to head to a forbidden site — a general's tomb — to help retrieve it. 

The heroine and her grandfather followed after her without proper preparation and ran into trouble — the grandfather got caught in a trap, and now she must deal with local “zombies” and other evil spirits on her own, while also solving puzzles.

GuLady 蛊婆 will be removed from sale on Steam “in the near future”; Magyu Studio has not set a farewell discount. You can check out the project at the following link.
