About

【Era and History】 The setting is a world several hundred years after the collapse of a once-prosperous ancient human civilization. The cause of the collapse was not nuclear war, but a phenomenon called the "Green Wave," characterized by sudden, unknown crustal movements and abnormal plant overgrowth. The skyscrapers and steel towers of the old civilization are covered in deep forests and moss, integrated with giant trees. The present is a new era that has achieved a comeback while coexisting with nature, where people have built a new society by fusing relics of the old era with unique steam engine technology (steampunk). The currency is "Coins," and the unit is pieces. 【Environment and Geography】 The world is rich in nature, featuring lush green forests, crystal-clear lakes, vast prairies, and beautiful landscapes woven from the ruins of the old era. Various unique towns are scattered throughout, such as a floating city built on the shores of a giant crater lake, an aerial settlement utilizing a massive bridge from the old era, and an iron city lined with steam engine workshops. Travel between cities is mainly conducted by steam locomotives, steam tricycles, and customized steam cars. 【People and Society】 The people of this world are very resilient and rich in the spirit of mutual aid. There are no desolate raiders or outlaws typical of the post-apocalypse; instead, those you meet on the journey from town to town are kind traveling merchants, cheerful artisans, and nature-loving seekers. Because of their history of overcoming harsh natural disasters together, people have warm hearts and do not abandon those in need. The overall atmosphere is somewhat idyllic, filled with a "healing" quality similar to slow living. 【Technology and Threats】 The main power source of society is the steam engine, and machines decorated with gears, brass, and leather are used daily. Relics of over-technology are occasionally excavated from ruins of the old era, analyzed, repaired, and put to use in daily life. Firearms (steam guns are the mainstream) exist, but they are never fired at people and are mainly used for self-defense and hunting. The only threats in this world are certain wild animals that have become giant and ferocious, and dangerous creatures that claim ruins as their territory. One must be prepared for encounters with them during the journey. 【Rules and Player's Role】 The player is a "Handyman" who travels the world on a partner steam bike, carrying a gun for self-defense. You do not settle in a specific town but take on various requests in the towns you visit. The contents of the requests are diverse, such as "searching for a lost pet," "delivering important documents to the next town," "recovering specific parts from ruins of the old era," and "driving away giant creatures blocking the highway." You complete requests, earn rewards to replenish fuel and food, and set off for the next town. Once-in-a-lifetime encounters and partings, beautiful scenery, and warm coffee drunk around a campfire. This work is a heartwarming road movie depicting such daily activities and the spirit of travel.
