❤ Gameplay Mechanics

Players dive into a unique RPG that replaces traditional combat with narrative-driven interactions. A tarot card system resolves challenges, adding visual flair and strategic depth. Three distinct characters - a minotaur magician, a corsair, and an automaton - weave their stories together through interconnected quests.

❤ Dialogue and Skill System

Choosing dialogue options develops characters by aligning with specific personality traits. Players level up skills through consistent choices, creating a dynamic progression system. For example, a persuasive dialogue might boost social skills, while a confrontational approach increases aggressive traits. Each interaction becomes a strategic decision that shapes the character's capabilities.

❤ Setting and World-Building

Victorian London transforms into a vibrant fantasy landscape populated by minotaurs, cyclopes, and steam-powered automatons. Players explore the East End's gritty underbelly, encountering diverse characters in opium dens, back alleys, and mysterious workshops. The world feels alive, responding dynamically to player interactions and character choices.

❤ Character Interaction and Narrative Design

Actions in early chapters create ripple effects throughout the story. A water level lowered by one character might impact another's later mission. Complex characters like Atticus, struggling with addiction and identity, or Otto, an automaton seeking purpose beyond utility, drive the narrative's emotional core.

❤ Exploration and Progression

Players navigate 20 meticulously crafted locations, uncovering layers of a mysterious cult's activities. Each character's chapter reveals new perspectives on the overarching plot. Exploration focuses on narrative discovery, with meaningful interactions driving the story forward.

❤ Unique Mechanics

The tarot card system transforms skill checks into a thematic mini-game. Drawing cards determines success, with major arcana unlocking special dialogue options. A morale system tracks characters' emotional states, influencing dialogue and potential story outcomes.

Deeply narrative-driven gameplay, innovative tarot-based skill resolution, interconnected character storylines, atmospheric steampunk setting, and meaningful player-driven character development.
