Behind the ticking gears and polished brass of the city lies a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. You must unravel the clockwork plot before its final mechanism clicks into place.
Steam-Powered Invention
You have built something that will change the world—if it does not explode first. Your invention threatens the established order, and powerful people want it destroyed or controlled.
Victorian Mad Science
The boundaries of science were meant to be pushed, not shattered. You pursue experiments that polite society calls madness, but your results are undeniable—and increasingly dangerous.
Automaton Uprising
The mechanical servants that power civilization have begun to think for themselves. You are caught between a society that depends on automaton labor and machines demanding the right to exist.
Aether Discovery
You have discovered aether—a mysterious energy source that defies every known law of physics. Nations will go to war for it, and the substance itself seems to have a will of its own.
Sky Pirate Raid
Your crew descends from the clouds to plunder merchant airships and imperial convoys. You live free above the law, but the Royal Air Navy is closing in and your luck is running thin.
Time Machine Construction
Brass, crystal, and genius—you are building the impossible. Your time machine nears completion, but saboteurs, rival scientists, and the fabric of time itself conspire against you.
Steam-Powered Mech
You pilot a walking fortress of iron and steam. Your mechanical titan shakes the earth with every step, and the battlefield has never seen anything like the weapon you are about to unleash.
Underground Resistance (Steampunk)
Beneath the gleaming gears of the upper city, a resistance brews in tunnels and forgotten workshops. You join the fight against an industrialist regime that grinds workers into fuel for progress.
Royal Engineering Corps
You serve the Crown as an elite engineer-soldier, deploying impossible machines on the battlefield. Your loyalty to queen and country is tested when you discover what your inventions are truly being used for.
Brass Golem
A towering figure of polished brass has been unearthed beneath the city, and it is waking up. You must determine whether this ancient automaton is a guardian, a weapon, or something far more unsettling.
Dirigible Race
The grandest race in the empire pits the finest airships against each other across continents. You captain your dirigible through storms, sabotage, and rival pilots who will stop at nothing to win.
Industrial Revolution Magic
Magic and machinery have fused into something unprecedented. You wield enchanted gears and spell-powered engines in a world where the industrial revolution runs on sorcery as much as steam.
Settings & Worlds
Environments to explore and inhabit
Airship Deck
Wind howls past the brass railings as your airship cuts through the clouds. The deck beneath your feet thrums with the engine's heartbeat, and the horizon stretches endlessly in every direction.
Clockwork Factory
Enormous gears turn overhead as thousands of clockwork components click into place on the assembly line. The factory never stops, the workers never rest, and something in the machinery is not right.
Victorian Laboratory
Glass beakers bubble over gas flames, electrical arcs dance between copper coils, and your notes cover every surface. This is where the impossible becomes merely improbable.
Steam-Powered City
Smokestacks pierce the skyline and pneumatic tubes crisscross between buildings like metal veins. This city runs on steam, ambition, and the sweat of workers who keep the engines turning.
Underground Workshop
Hidden beneath the streets, your workshop is a maze of half-finished inventions and stolen blueprints. Down here, away from the authorities, you build the devices that will change everything.
Sky Dock
Airships of every size crowd the docking platforms high above the city. The sky dock is a crossroads of merchants, adventurers, and spies, all arriving or departing on the next gust of wind.
Brass Palace
Every surface gleams with polished brass and intricate clockwork ornamentation. The palace is both a seat of power and a mechanical masterpiece, where political machinations turn like hidden gears.
Coal-Powered Train
The great locomotive thunders across the countryside, its coal furnace blazing white-hot. You are aboard a train carrying secrets, and someone on this journey does not intend for you to reach the destination.
Floating Market
Tethered balloons and small airships cluster together in midair, forming a bustling market that drifts with the wind. You can buy anything here—if you can keep your footing on the swaying platforms.
Automaton Arena
The crowd roars as clockwork gladiators clash in the arena. You enter your automaton champion into combat, where gears grind against gears and only the best-engineered machine survives.
Inventor's Attic
Crammed into the attic above a London townhouse, surrounded by blueprints, prototypes, and the smell of solder, you tinker with the device that will either make your fortune or blow the roof off.
Smog-Covered London
The fog is not natural—it is a byproduct of a thousand steam engines running day and night. You navigate the choked streets of an alternate London where visibility is measured in feet and danger in inches.
