On Feb, 16, 2023, the video game Raid on Taihoku will be officially released on Steam. Thank you for your patience and long waiting. We sincerely invite you to share the good news with your friends, and together add it in the game list on Steam!
Raid on Taihoku is a 2.5 D narrative adventure game, based on the city of Taihoku, under Japanese colonial rule and the raid of United States Air Force. The story is about how an amnesia high school girl, Sayako, and a Taiwanese dog, Blacky, try to survive in their adventure. While evading the raid, Sayako gradually regains her memories, but in the meanwhile, she finds out the appalling past…
With our team’s several tests and updates, the game has been all set and ready. We wish to make you feel closer to the suffered ones in wars via our game.
Released after Chinese New Year, the game has reached its best version within our limited time and sources.
Raid on Taihoku is neither a 3A epic-like game, nor a masterpiece with astonishing Gameplay, but it is rather an independent game, which focuses on the balance of factual history and sentiments. Through the game, we want to make the players empathize with the pain and suffering brought by warfare.
The game includes historical scenes such as Taiwan Sotokufu (today’s Presidential Office), Taiwan Grand Shrine (today’s Grand Hotel), Taihoku Hospital (today’s National Taiwan University Hospital), Taihoku Station (dismantled), Penglai Catholic Church (ruined in the raid), Manka Longshan Temple, Dadaocheng and so on, with a view to represent our beautiful home, Taiwan, before it was threatened by the war.
More than 50 soundtracks in Raid on Taihoku
Before officially releasing the game, we hope to embrace more players’ advices. Therefore, we are going to hold a two-week-long white paper test in December, whose participants include Japanese players, and even Japanese professors. We will dedicatedly polish and enhance the game by accepting these feedbacks.
Thanks again for your support and understanding. We want to present you the best version of the game, hoping that it will also meet your expectations.
Though the ashes still linger on the European land and the fire ruins Ukraine, we hope in this unstable generation, warfare can only be seen in the game.
Sincerely,
Team of Raid on Taihoku
