This story reimagines history through the perspective of Beacon, a superhero from the futuristic Dakota City.

But honestly, it’s not just about recognizing the games. What really grabs me is how beautifully animated it is and how much it plays around with different moods, how the stories are told, and even what kind of genre it fits into. It just proves how flexible science fiction storytelling can be – it’s amazing!
