Road to Empress (technically Part 1) is a FMV adventure game from New One Studio which saw some viral success in its international release. Loosely based on the life of Wu Zetian, the only female empress of China, navigate complex palace intrigue to ensure your survival and your journey to power.  There’s a lot of wrong choices though.
