Developer Another Angle Games and publisher Owlcat Games are welcoming players to try out open alpha of the upcoming turn-based RPG Shadow of the Road.
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.
“Share your impressions, speedruns, fanart, showcase your mastery of the game’s mechanics and your deep understanding of Japanese folklore and culture. We’ll be waiting for you!”
Check out the game’s Steam page or our preview to learn more about the game. Participating in the open alpha is free, and gives you a chance to check out the very beginning of this story.
