Game Science's action RPG Black Myth: Wukong is a game that is steeped in the rich tapestry of Eastern mythology, with its primary influence being the 16th-century Chinese novel by Wu Cheng'en, Journey to the West. As such, just as is the case with Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong has strong roots in Chinese Buddhism and Buddhist folklore, with a significant emphasis placed on the six senses of Buddhism sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind.
