Japan and Steampunk - an unconventional fusion
Warriors!
Today, we’d like to delve into the fascinating fusion of steampunk and Japanese culture. These two seemingly different elements come together in a remarkable way, creating an incredible atmosphere that keeps us hooked (and hopefully you too!).
[h2]Let's talk a bit about steampunk and its origins…[/h2]
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that combines futuristic technology with Victorian aesthetics. It's all about that retro vibe, with steam-powered machinery and a touch of industrial revolution. It's a style that has captured the imagination of many and has become a beloved theme in various forms of media.
There were many books, TV shows, and even games (for example BioShock, Dishonored, or Final Fantasy VI) created in this genre. We're sure that, to some extent, you've already encountered steampunk, whether consciously or not. But never before in the form that we intend to present it in our game!
In the world of Shadow of the Road, the responsibility of bringing steampunk to Japan lies with EMC (a mysterious British conglomerate with unclear intentions).
Initially, the idea of blending these seemingly contrasting atmospheres seemed risky to us. After all, Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun, evokes an entirely different imagery. It's all about that Zen vibe – peace, balance, spirituality, and chill.
However, it's precisely this unexpected combination that makes the world of Shadow of the Road so captivating. It immerses you deeply and leaves you craving for more. You want to navigate through the next stages of what seems so unassuming, believe us.
