THE GUTTER
DracoXia Studio · Sep 2, 2026
Descend into 1801 China as an opium-addicted father who sold his daughter, now prowling a burned-out floating brothel for treasures. As you touch relics of the dead, violent memories reveal a sickening truth: the greatest monster in this tale has always been you.
About THE GUTTER
We are Dracoxia Studio, and the Gutter is our first game. We are a small team without deep pockets or some genius producer behind us. What we do have is a difficult story we wanted to tell: a dark tale of how people were sucked into the sinking history. This is a psychological horror game that will take around two hours. Through classic point-and-click adventure and puzzles, you’ll uncover a truth as brutal as it is absurd. Please Note: This is an experience built around story and feel. The puzzles are designed primarily to draw you deeper into the world. If dark stories and antihero narrative are your thing, we hope that Gutter leaves you with a taste of something different and interesting. GAME FEATURES Explore Flower Boats, the floating brothel in Qing-Dynasty China Guangzhou, 1801. Along the Pearl River, beyond the prosperity of the Thirteen Hongs shops, lay gutters where daylight never reached. We’ve taken serious research to build the oppressive world of Tanka boat-dwellers, flower boats, and opium smoke hanging thick over the water. This isn’t the familiar China of kung-fu tales. It’s a corner of Chinese history that truly existed, yet is rarely spoken of. Play a Rotten Bast
