DESCRIPTION
Shuyan Saga is an immersive interactive story inspired by ancient Chinese lore and mythology. Embark on a journey with Chinese princess, Shuyan, in this interactive fiction starring Kristen Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty and the Beast) and hand drawn by Daxiong (Dark Horse, DC). 3D action combat scenes come alive throughout the story for an unforgettable kung fu experience.
HISTORY
It really started with a single question. At the studio we had team members who had studied martial arts, and they all said their experience of learning martial arts was very different from what they experienced in games and popular media. When we see Kung Fu or martial arts it often seems to be about the fighting, but in learning Kung Fu, the emphasis is often much more on self-restraint, character refinement, etc. So we asked if it was possible to create a digital game that captured more of that cultivation experience, rather than just the head-bashing. And that question got us started on this path.
