After spending so much time working on Road to Guangdong<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u2019s story, and now that the rest of the team are busy working on preparations for the upcoming release, I find myself pining for Guu Ma, who, to me, is the most important character in the story.<\/p>\n

Guu Ma is Cantonese for the oldest paternal aunt. In this story that opens with Sunny losing her parents to a tragic accident, Guu Ma steps into the parental role swiftly due to her rank and situation. In the game, you play Sunny, and your relationship with Guu Ma has to develop in order for you to fulfil Sunny\u2019s parents\u2019 final wishes for Sunny to take over the family restaurant.<\/p>\n

Initially, Guu Ma, like any other character, might trick you into believing that she\u2019s just a typical aunt, who has dedicated her whole life to managing the family restaurant. Whether it becomes obvious or not, Guu Ma\u2019s background is complicated. Though she was the most conscientious and responsible of the Tong siblings, the family restaurant was given to Sunny\u2019s father, the oldest male. And in this latest distressing turn of events, Guu Ma has to support her niece, who has no experience in restauranting, through not only grief, but also a chance to change the conservative patriarchal practices of the culture, by successfully managing the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Guu Ma cares like all good matriarchs, with tough love. And if Sunny is able to prove herself to Guu Ma, then things will get easier for them both. Guu Ma might even show her softer side.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Whatever happens, Guu Ma will always be Sunny\u2019s harshest critic and biggest cheerleader. If it gets too much, just go for a drive and hope that Guu Ma will be lulled into a nap. Some zen driving might help you cool off from Guu Ma\u2019s nagging, though be warned that she won\u2019t stand for Sandy the car being treated badly.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to meet Guu Ma and begin your relationship with her?<\/p>\n

Road to Guangdong<\/a><\/em><\/strong> launches August 28 on Xbox One, and is available to pre-order now! If you can\u2019t wait to try it out, a Road to Guangdong<\/em> demo is available as part of the Xbox Summer Game Fest Demo Event until July 27.<\/p>\n
