Chains of Lukomorye isn’t just inspired by other games it also takes ideas from old stories and poems. One of its biggest inspirations is the ancient tale of Orpheous and Eurydice. But even more directly it’s based on a Russian poem called Ruslan and Ludmila by Alexander Pushkin in fact the game trailer even starts with a quote from it. Just like the poem the game has a magical and mysterious feeling. You’ll see ghostly ruins floating above broken forts from the World War I era and dark forests that lead into old haunted places.
