Steambot Chronicles is a 2005 action-adventure role-playing game developed and published by Irem Software Engineering in Japan for the PlayStation 2. It was later published by Atlus in North America and 505 Games in PAL regions. The game features a sandbox-style of steam-powered, mech-based gameplay. Steambot Chronicles is set in a steampunk-style world where steam-powered vehicles, called Trotmobiles, are commonplace. The player assumes the role of Vanilla Beans, a young man who wakes up on the beach with no memory and soon finds himself involved in a series of events ranging from exploring the world, combat in Trotmobiles, to social and moral interactions that impact the development of the story. The game's plot is quite flexible, allowing the player to make decisions that affect the course of the narrative. There are multiple endings, depending on the choices made throughout the journey.
