Nongeom — where swords are discussed.
A single breath decides the duel. Nongeom is a 1v1 turn-based swordfighting game set in a wuxia (martial-arts) world. Instead of flashy spectacle, everything rides on reading your opponent's breath and cutting into the fleeting moment.
■ A duel of breath
Each fighter spends 30 breaths as an action budget. Slash, Thrust, Defend, Dodge, Hold—both sides commit their move at once each exchange. A gap in breath opens a Moment; other openings invite a Riposte. This is a game of prediction and pacing, not reflexes.
■ Sword paths on a 3×3 grid
Every strike is drawn across a 3×3 grid. Read the arcs of slashes and thrusts and the placement of defends and dodges to slip past your rival's blade and land your own. Each exchange replays in full so you can see exactly how it resolved.
■ Enter the Martial World, climb the Realms
Begin as a Third-Rate Warrior and rise through eight Realms—Second-Rate, First-Rate, Peak, Transcendent, Realm of Transformation, Profound Realm, and the Realm of Life and Death. Earn Enlightenment, refine your own Art, and test yourself against the masters.
