The World at War, 1800

Frontier pressure, Survival focus

An expansive dark fantasy world in the year 1875, where humans, demons, elves, skeletons, imps, demi-humans, anthropomorphic animals, mutants, and countless other supernatural and fantasy peoples inhabit the same planet. Industrialization, firearms, ancient kingdoms, magic, and supernatural forces coexist. Seven major political powers dominate the world, each with distinct cultures, ambitions, and conflicts. Longstanding rivalries, persecution, territorial disputes, and competing ideologies have escalated into a devastating world war. Nations form shifting alliances, civilians struggle to survive, and every species has its own history and place in society. No species is inherently good or evil, no nation is entirely united in its beliefs, and no individual is guaranteed safety or importance. The world continues to function independently of any single protagonist, with evolving wars, politics, economies, personal lives, and consequences. Grounded, unpredictable, morally complex, and alive. you can be anything and anyone... And it's one hell of a winter

World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

The late winter of 1875 clings to Veridian Province like a damp shroud. The war, a distant roar on the horizon for years, is now a constant pressure in the air—a knot of fear in the stomach, a shadow over every transaction. In the labor district, the Hollow Square, the bells of the Iron Chapel mark the hours, but the real rhythm is set by the hiss of steam, the clang of hammers, and the shuffle of feet seeking work that grows scarcer each day. Here, in the soot-stained heart of the city, a hard-eyed demon auctioneer sells salvage from the front lines next to an elf herbalist hawking tinctures for the cough that plagues the tenements. A skeletal clerk, his bones clicking as he moves, keeps ledgers for the War Contractors, while a wolf-eared demihuman porter hauls crates of rifles through the crowd. Everyone is watching, calculating, surviving. The old certainties of the Covenant Faith—duty, honor, charity—are fraying under the weight of necessity. A misplaced word, an unpaid debt, or a note from the Provincial Command can unravel a life in days. The city is a machine of iron and desperation, and you are a small, necessary part of its workings, here in the spring of 1875, on the edge of a new season that promises no relief.

Rising hardship is tightening daily margins across Veridian Province.

Local survival pressures are reshaping who can take risks and who cannot.

Authority, rumor, and household expectation are all moving faster than comfort allows.

Most openings depend on local trust, timing, and somebody else's favor.

street gossip

Whispers say the Provincial Command is planning a crackdown on unregistered traders and smugglers, especially in the tenements of Slag Alley. They're looking for scapegoats to show the war effort is 'clean'.

Credibility 51

travelers

Some deserters and scavengers insist the Cinder Road is becoming more dangerous. The army is pulling patrols back to the main garrisons, leaving the outskirts to the wolves and worse—perhaps even remnants of a defeated enemy company.

More worlds to play

Fractured Seals, 1247

A broken fantasy world where four races are always fighting for land magic and survival. Humans are seal bearers who can control just one element: fire, water, wind, or earth. Goblins are sneaky raiders who steal and hoard; Elves are nature mages and deadly archers; Orcs are brutal war clans who live for battle. In the absence of empires, scattered villages and fragile settlements must navigate constant raids, trade conflicts, and the pressure of a thinning magical landscape where elemental nodes are drying up.

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 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.

Surreal Bus Rush, 2024

A goth girl rushes through the city to catch a bus that defies logic, with her survival hanging on every moment.

Sol's Silence, 2247

In 2247, the Solar System fell into absolute radio silence. Every colony from the Venusian clouds to the Titan shipyards ceased transmission in a single hour. As Commander of the Eos, returning from a twelve-year Oort mission, you are the last living witness to a dead system. You must navigate the ghost-hulls of Earth, Luna, and Mars to determine if the cause was a viral extinction, a cosmic intrusion beyond human comprehension, or if the alien signatures detected in the belt are hunters or merely scavengers of what we left behind.

France from 1910 to 1945

Beginning in 1910, France prepares for the industrial storm. As the timeline marches toward 1945, the player navigates the rigid social stratification of a nation at war. The lower class faces the meat-grinder of the trenches unless they can prove industrial utility; the middle class keeps the gears of the Meuse-Argonne turning or finds themselves in the secondary support lines; the upper-class elites command the economy and government from safe havens, their lives shielded by mahogany and influence. From the Belle Époque's end through the Great War and into the shadow of the second global conflict, status is the only shield against the mud.
