Japan - Empire of Shadows
Set in Japan at the dawn of the modern age, the game contrasts electric streetcars, factories, and department stores with rural traditions and ancestral kami. Beneath this changing society, ancient forces stir as modern science and arcane knowledge draw them into the world. Players confront the tension between industrial progress, spiritual power, and the threat of darkness overtaking the nation.
