The developers from Another Angle Games and publisher Owlcat Games have announced that the wait is almost over. Turn-based cRPG Shadow of the Road will be arriving on November 12 on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. A demo is available now on Windows PC via Steam.
In Shadow of the Road, you play as two ronin Akira and Satoru, trying to reclaim their lost honor in the world torn apart by war. The forces of the Shogun represent the traditional side of this alternative 1868 Japan, while the Emperor and his allies from the British East Nippon Company insist on technological progress and advancement.
Amid this conflict of ideologies, the two protagonists were given a mission to protect a very special young boy who might change the outcome of the war and the fate of the empire forever. It is up to you to choose how this journey unfolds: form new bonds, sever lifelong friendships, or mend fractured family ties. Your decisions will shape who they become.
