Immersing in History’s Dark Corners
“The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty” offers a haunting glimpse into the late Ming period of China, a time rife with social upheaval and severe famine. The game stands out for its meticulous attention to historical details, especially in depicting the stark realities faced by women and children. During this era, young girls like Sui, the character in our story, were often seen as burdens during times of scarcity. Desperation led many families to make heart-wrenching decisions—selling their daughters to human traffickers or even more dire actions. This game bravely confronts these issues, presenting a narrative that is not just educational but deeply moving, reflecting the harsh historical truths of human trafficking and the undervalued lives of women and children.
