Chinese indie game Sultan’s Game reached 250,000 sales on Steam in its first week, developer Double Cross Studio announced on Tuesday, sharing a celebratory illustration and revealing plans for long-term updates at the same time.
Since its March 31 launch, the game has quickly become a trending topic among Chinese gamers.
In a fictional medieval palace, players take on the role of a minister serving the sultan, who is forced into a brutal card game devised by a mysterious sorceress.
The game includes gay romantic storylines, with flirting and relationships between male characters among the storylines, which some Chinese players consider controversial.
The multiplayer online battle arena game Honor of Kings alone brought in $2.42 billion in mobile revenue for Tencent last year.
