A bullet screams through the night, one hundred and thirteen storeys above the bustling city streets, and buries itself in the skull of millionaire industrialist Baram Mallory.
It’s the spring of 1933, and the Allied World celebrates their wealth, power and prosperity. Fantastical technologies, brought about by the abrupt and decisive victories at the closing days of the Great War, have removed all limits on the ingenuity of man. Towers scrape the sky, airships connect the nations and continents, scarcity and poverty are all but forgotten. Vast halls of shining black machinery tirelessly produce every conceivable device and luxury, the yoke of manual labor replaced by the decadence of leisure.
Drenched in his own blood and ichor, millionaire industrialist Baram Mallory stands at the shattered window of his penthouse and points directly at his would-be killer.
Noir is a vicious game of supernatural cat-and-mouse through the fantastical dieselpunk landscape of an alternate history America. From the engine room of an extravagant skyliner forever trapped above the clouds, to the caustic sewers eating away at the industrial wastelands of the Aphotic State, to the laboratory that changed the course of history, veteran of the Great War and gun-for-hire Oscar Brubeck races to elude the inhuman entity pursuing him and uncover the conspiracy of the modern age.
