Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that includes retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by industrial steam engines of the 19th century. The combination of futuristic technology and the aesthetics of the Victorian era has proved to be a fascinating topic for both developers and players. The abundance of small details, the use of certain materials to create the texture of mechanized characters, their clothes, appearance - such things can refer to the attributes of steampunk aesthetics. Steampunk is a well-defined style that performs an important plot-forming function, but in this case represents something much broader: each of the stories goes beyond the era of steam engines. The soundtrack of the film performs an important function in immersing the player in digital reality, getting to know the world. The authors get the opportunity to present a higher-quality, integral project, an independent artistic solution, as close as possible to reality. Thus, the visual style is complemented by a characteristic sound design. Such an example allows you to slightly change or expand the understanding and perception of the phenomenon. The image begins to sound, which means it acquires more realistic properties. The possibilities of the film allow you to fully immerse yourself in a special reality. The author declares no conflicts of interests.
