The Traded Groom
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Today's your wedding day, and you've never met your husband.
You're the chief of several semi-nomadic clans; he's an imperial prince of the Han people, with whom you have a complicated political relationship. You meet for the first time on the same day you marry, and you quickly find that he isn't the arrogant, prideful prince you'd expected.
Get to know him over the night and find out whether he's a spy for your enemies or a victim of political schemes; and most of all, whether this marriage can work.
This was made for Josei After Dark jam!

Please make your games available for Linux!!!! I want to play your games so bad
This was absolutely incredible! I've never had such a brief game make me fall in love so quickly. The writing was so good and I loved both characters. I could honestly read a whole novel about these two and their developing relationship.
This is definitely a game I'll be revisiting in the future!
delicious. utterly delicious. i was fully swept away! what i could give for a full game of these two. wonderful stupendous game you've created for us all, yet again! ❤️
Whyyy cant i ever play the great games because of my stupid phone 😭😭 this seems wonderful! ❤️
No, because, explain to me why did I fall in love, ONCE AGAIN, with a fictional man? The slow burn love, the inmersive music, the beauty of the artwork... Everything was spot on! One of my favorite things was how along the story many of the LI made sense as you progress the narrative and how he slowly turns from standoffish, to shy, to someone that has a reason to be the way they are and how the environment in which he was raised him made him believe the things people said or thought about him in such a realistic and relatable way.
Anyways, thanks so much for making my evening better with romance
I loved everything about this, oh my god- 😭😭😭😭
I'd buy a full game exploring Yùzhàn and Erdene's life in the steppes in a heartbeat 😭😭😭
Thank you for sharing!!! (And if you ever decide to expand upon this, I might actually cry😂)
Tldr: Love on the Steppes Brings Local Woman to Tears, More at Six
the service ur doing to womankind by making more inexperienced sub male RO's is unmatched by any other hero in the entirety of human history and prehistory. this is herstory.
Omg I love it. Both their dynamics are so good. Yuzhan is such a cutie! He deserve all the happiness in the world!
Unfortunately, I seem to be having the "Virus' problem :(
But from what I can see, the art looks amazing!
Yùzhàn is so darling... What a cutie! (I obviously had to go down the tender route~)
I cant donwload it cuz it says there is a virus :(
Others have said the same and I'm not sure why, sorry! If you feel comfortable downloading the game anyway, you should be able to go into the Downloads tab of your browser and click something like "Download anyway" (depends on the browser, but they should all have the option).
see normally I get that but for your upload, it doesn't give me the option T_T
Ahhh I love it sm! The husband is so cute 😍
Cute!!!! They're so adorable. The CG's are so cute omg I am in love with their dynamic.
It keeps saying "couldn't download virus detected"
it's the same for me also.
Hm I haven't seen that happen before, sorry about that! I don't know what browser you use but when I use Chrome I can go into my downloads tab and select to proceed with the download despite the warning (if you feel comfortable doing that obviously).
This actually happened to me recently with another game from itch.io - I have no clue why it is happening, but it might not be related to your game at all.
yea I use chrome too and for most games I have that options but this time there's no options just a we blocked this after detecting a virus.
