        Tao ("Way" or "Road") is an RPG from Pax Softnica, which worked with Nintendo on games like Mother, and Vap, the publishers behind the infamous Ganso Saiyuuki: Super Monkey Daibouken. The game concerns a spiritual wanderer who is attempting to avert the end of days predicted by Nostradamus in a near future which has already been wracked with disaster. In order to do this, he must invoke the powers of various different religions and belief systems, including those from Hindu, Buddhist, Christianity and other faiths. The game is known for its abstract and unusual personality. While the game was never officially localized into English, a fan translation was created by Snark and released in 2011.
