❤ Story and Setting

The game's narrative presents players with a series of complex, morally ambiguous cases to solve, each with unique suspects and outcomes that are determined by the player's choices.

The setting of Lamplight City, a thriving 19th-century port city in the New World, is meticulously crafted, with distinct neighborhoods that explore themes of class struggle, industrial progress, and the public's fear of emerging steam technology.

The atmospheric and dark tone of the game is inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Dickens, creating a captivating detective adventure.
