Press Kit | SteamCity Video Game

SteamCity Chronicles is a turn-based strategy game with a unique world setting, merging steampunk art direction with strong Japanese influences.

The game tells the gripping story of the daring rebellion of Sophie von Eschenbach, the ‘Rose of Freedom’ against the Yamagami corporation - a faceless organization from the East, hell-bent on complete efficiency and productivity.

Decades ago, they have taken over the once proud city of Kolonenberg, a peaceful society full of life & harmony, and transformed it into a dystopian nightmare, where independent thought is a myth and every little part of life is under total control.

Traditional values of the ‘old way’ have all but been eradicated, giving way to a machine-like
society where the individual is no more.

However, after 80 years of brutal oppression, signs of change are surfacing.

A single flower has pushed its way to the surface of SteamCity 0314: A rose. A rose of freedom.

Sophie, the last survivor of the once great von Eschenbach family takes a vow to retake the city and restore it to its former glory, risking everything she holds dear.

With the guidance of a shady man living a double life called Martin Doscoil, she takes up the leading position to ignite the flame that will spark a full-blown revolution against the tyrannical power of the Yamagami corporation.

She’s also joined by Anna, a.k.a. ‘Lady Dynamite’ who’s the secondary heroine of the story and the latest addition to the members of the Rose of Freedom.

Together, they lead a band of loyal militia against an army of steel enforcers, mechanical robots, and unspeakable monstrosities.

Join Sophie and her band of brothers & sisters in a desperate attempt to overthrow the brutal Yamagami rule, liberate her enslaved people, and restore Kolonenberg to its former glory.
