About the Game
Let your creativity roam free, unbounded by rules. The world awaits for you to give it shape like clay under your fingertips in Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll, a Zen hex-tile building game that puts the power of creation in your hands. Qianli offers a mix of creative freedom, puzzle challenge, and roguelite elements to create a uniquely playful and tranquil, yet challenging experience.
Inspired by cozy, Zen-like puzzle and diorama-building games like Dorfromantik, Townscaper, Pan’orama, Tiny Glade, Islanders, or Preserve, Qianli: The Vastscape Scroll offers its unique twist to the genre along with a breathtaking art style, inspired by A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, one of the most beautiful masterpieces of Chinese ink and watercolor art.
Unlike other city- and hex-tile building games, in Qianli you won’t be limited by any terrain restrictions. Place each piece freely, following only your instinct. You may be chasing a high score, or simply enjoying a peaceful session of beauty and creation: the choice is yours.
There is a soul in everything: in the landscape, in the peace of nature, in the buildings your people inhabit. Throughout your journey, you’ll encounter Scenlings – beings born from traditional Chinese poems and songs, given shape after centuries amassing energy. Each has its own history, distinct personality, and unique abilities – and will bring an extra layer of strategic depth to your landscapes while you explore the story behind each of them.
Misty mountains, unfathomable blue lakes, deep forests, twinding paths – all elements of classic Chinese landscape paintings are yours to combine freely. But magic happens when certain tiles meet: a path reaching water forms a dock, a trail near a famed peak reveals the gates of an ancient temple. Experiment and explore to uncover every magical interaction.
Step into a living landscape painting where every brushstroke tells a story. Whether you seek a relaxing journey, a creative escape, or a test of skill, you can enjoy the world at your own pace.
Exploration Mode: Journey through the painting and meet Aspects inspired by classical Chinese poetry and historic landmarks. Discover their stories, unlock unique abilities, and experience the timeless beauty of traditional Chinese art.
Creation Mode: Let your imagination run free with no scores or limitations. Paint across a vast landscape and bring your own vision of A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—a masterpiece of Chinese landscape painting from the Song dynasty—to life. Share your creations with friends and enjoy the experience of creating together.
Challenge Mode: Even a peaceful landscape can become a place to hone your skills. Master unique rules, compete with friends in relaxed matches, improve your scores, and climb the rankings.
Relaxed, stress-free hex-tile building
Tranquil beauty inspired by traditional Chinese ink and watercolor paintings

Oh, and we almost forgot – And what's a calming game without our furry friends, the cats? Keep your eyes peeled. These little furballs love hiding in quiet corners. Can you spot them?
