The Scroll of Taiwu is a Chinese role-playing video game. It was released in early access on September 20, 2018, by Kunming-based studio ConchShip Games with no English translation. The game is based on Wuxia and Chinese mythology. The game was a bestseller on the distribution platform Steam and a bellwether for a burgeoning Chinese indie game scene. In September 2018, the game ranked second in Steam's global sales charts, ahead of many popular Western games. It was seen as a harbinger of China's potential influence on the platform, which had not been formally opened to the region. In April 2022, ConchShip Games announced that "The Scroll of Taiwu" official version would be released on September 21, 2022. In September 2022, ConchShip Studio announced on social media that a new version of "The Scroll of Taiwu" would be updated on September 21 at 23:00.
