The memories of our future: Steampunk in gaming



Dystopian futures make for more appealing adventures,
since such worlds to need more saving than other, more
sunny timelines. But despite the fact that most current
sci-fi games focus on the the bleaker possibilities (war
with aliens, oppressive governments, and the impending
doom of all humanity, to name a few), change is in the air.
A niche art style that draws on both the brute power of
steam-driven technology and the elegance of the past is
gaining popularity, and it could bring some fresh air to the
somewhat stale designs of modern games.
