The Waking City, 2026

The Tangle of Chionthar, 1492

In the dense, magical periphery of the Wood of Sharp Teeth near Baldur's Gate, the reach of the Flaming Fist is thin. Settlers and outcasts struggle against encroaching fey-corrupted flora and the economic squeeze of city-state tariffs while surviving on the edge of the Coast Way.

Night City, 2077

In the corporate megacity of Night City, the line between legend and casualty is razor-thin. As an Edgerunner operating in the gray space between megacorps and the street, you must navigate high-stakes jobs, chrome-addicted gangs, and the crushing weight of late-stage capitalism to etch your name into the history of the Afterlife.

The Modern World of, 1820

A modern world where magic is real and life is comfortable for the main character, who navigates high society, political intrigue, and arcane secrets.

Harrowgate, 2026

A modern fictional city where people have their own lives, relationships, careers, ambitions, conflicts, and social circles. The player is an ordinary person living in this world, not the protagonist of everyone's story. NPCs have independent goals and can make decisions, form relationships with each other, disagree, lose interest, become closer, or move on without the player. Events continue even when the player is absent. Romance exists naturally but is never the main objective and no character is destined to become obsessed with the player. In Harrowgate's dense neighborhoods and waterfront, power moves through local political mood, favours, reputation, and the quiet jostle of committees, unions, landlords, and informal leaders. Success depends on reading the local mood, staying useful to the right people, and accepting that no one is waiting for the player to act — but every choice still changes what happens next.

The Division, 1970

The Berlin Wall is a decade old, hardening the divide between the socialist GDR and the capitalist West. In East Berlin (the Capital of the GDR), the Mark der DDR fuels a command economy defined by shortages and Stasi surveillance, while West Berlin sits as a subsidized democratic island within the Soviet bloc. Players navigate the frictions of the Cold War, from the Intershop's lure of Western goods to the quiet pressure of the SED party apparatus.

Thessaloniki 100 BCE, 100

The Roman province of Macedonia is a crossroads of tension. In the bustling port of Thessaloniki, the wealthy navigate Roman politics while the urban poor struggle against rising grain prices and the heavy hand of the governor's tax collectors.
