Where in the World does this Game Happen?

<< < (6/9) > >>

Helios.:
you can see deserts even in more temperate climates if there is a rain shadow, think the cold deserts of the gobi. the huge mountain ranges that the yeshans live in could be the reason for the deserts even if the land was freezing cold.

we know that this world is designed around the eventual destruction of the ecosystem after a ww1 style battle dragged on for decades, rather than only a few years.this obviously insn't western or even eastern europe: this world is in a fictionalized world. we don't have to worry about wich parts look most like our world

Yeah, those are Canadian geese. I like the pink by the way. :)
At least we know they somehow got placed in this last surviving piece of earth. Majestic animals they be, Very bitey though.

Like I mentioned before, I got some official word on this and it is actually an alternate earth that contains similar if not exactly the same landmasses and cultures in their respective places. The bulk of the changes happened in the industrial revolution and machine age, where steam was favored over combustion. There are other things as well, such as Berlin never existing, so we can assume that all if not most capitals and landmarks are different in some way, but still similar. I would say we should treat this more of a fictional parallel world, rather than a total fabrication. There is some stuff on the website as well that outlines how there was a strict period of warfare for fifty years sometime after the turn of the 1900s and another period of fifty years called the red death(some virus) right after it. The game itself takes place some two hundred years after all that rubbish. Also, I found some signs hanging around Labyrinth that are really interesting and prove that whatever civilisation that held the city before everyone died did, in fact, speak English. Here are some pictures below, and a little lore treat for all you hungry hungry hippos.


This is cool, It says Jerroefur Coats as far as I can tell.


Zoomed out version, shows the title and picture.


Some kind of military propaganda poster as far as I can tell, it might be just the way the sign is shaded and broken but he does look a little Asian. Perhaps this city was either originally the home of the ancestors to the Yesha empire, or was taken over by them, possibly explained how burned and blown up it looks. That would also explain how the other coat sign looks new in comparison.


Another sign suggesting an originally Asian population. Perhaps this was a festival of some kind. Or maybe this is just an Easter egg in disguise, I can't tell. Who watches anime?


A sign for Covell Casino, I knew there was another shop sign somewhere, this one was kind of hiding though.


Finally, I found this tank kind of interesting. There are a few of them on the King of the Hill map at the globe, these are particularly interesting because we actually have these in our timeline. They are the Mark V British tanks from WW1. The WA on the side is an identifier of some kind, probably to a fictional government or unit of some kind. This suggests a reliance to some degree on combustion engines and that the events that led to this tanks creation in our timeline would have to be very similar to produce the exact same tank. Very cool little tidbit for y'all.


Here is a comparison, just so you can see how precisely the same these two are, both in our world and Muse's.

The Mann:
Interesting theory about the tanks but how do you explain this?
 
;D

Lady Veronica:
OMG Yes XD!! I saw that while scouring away at the map and, it's just so perfect. IGN needs to give this game 10/10 just for that at this point.

If we want to at least "try" and explain this, well, here we go.

Towards the end of the war, there were many casualties on both sides, piling in numbers unthinkable even in Holocaust standards. Nations had to adapt. They could produce more machines than they could produce men to man them. There was one hope, seen by the invaders of this desolate city, a technology so immense that it could animate, snow men. These brave soldiers would be trained by only the best ninjas in the secret dojos beneath the earth so that in any situation, these small men are ready to battle. Since this technology uses snow, it was probably the Norwegians and by extension, probably the Angleans who made these fluffy water commandos.  This really led to major destruction and utter flattening of entire cites now unmarked as all that remains is gravel in their wake. Here, in the final years of the war, this great city fell under siege by a rogue legion of these men, now seeking on furthering their own agenda for the betterment of snow man kind (in honour of the great Frosty the Snowman), but their efforts proved fruitless. Too many fell, and by the time victory had been achieved, only one snow man remained. This is that snowman, and he is ready to fire his tank at you without warning, because he, he is the lone survivor. He, Is, Legend.

That or somebody left a model snowman on top a tank for absolute lols, but I suspect the former theory to be the most concrete and likely in this scenario.

Also I found this in the Fjords at the tower with the bridge:

TimTim LaBaguette:
