Grand Lord Auto

Grand Lord Auto is a text adventure in which you face strange choices that can affect you and generations of your family. You can use social connections and careful decisions to make things easier, while pursuing wealth, beauty, fame and status—or deciding what matters most.

Family and relationships

You can marry and have children, then continue playing as your son and grandson after each generation dies. A woman you save from being a snake may return to repay you, though you can also choose to cook and eat the snake instead. A wife can serve as your personal guard.

Study and martial arts

Studying means working through the hardships of learning, including reading by the light that comes through a hole in the wall and the company of a female ghost. You can train in martial arts, from basic punches to the Tathagata Palm, but your physical condition affects how effective your training is. You can enter arena matches, where you might meet a woman warrior who could become your wife.

Paths through society

You can become a seventh-rank county magistrate and choose whether to govern honestly or corruptly, or leave society to become an outlaw and decide whether your band acts for justice or against it. You can also work for the Ping'an Escort Bureau. When sharing a drink with fellow students, you can challenge them to Feihua Ling, a poetry game that tests your knowledge and memory of poems.

Choices and consequences

There is often more than one way to reach a goal, and your choices include relying on your appearance rather than your abilities. Across a life and its generations, you decide how to balance wealth, romance, official rank and influence.
