As SloClap prepares to release one of their most ambitious games yet, they have a new tie-in to show off to fans. A Sifu live-action short film has been released, and it shows how the game would look like as a movie chronicling the story of a martial artist in a quest for vengeance.

Titled as Sifu: At the Cost of Time — check out the new short film below and how it gives a taste of the story that players will experience in the game.

Directed by Christopher Clark Cowan, here’s the overview of the project that accompanied the video that describes what the story is about.
