The year is 1889. We are in London. An era of economical and technological splendour, of exotism and discoveries has turned into an urban nightmare.
As steam rises and mechanical apparatus is seen in every public place, as airships cross the skies of England, carrying thousands of civilians, as cog-men (a sophisticated type of automata) are built by millions, the country is fissuring.
Victoria, Queen of England, in total reclusion, is still mourning her beloved Albert, losing her repute and her sanity in supernatural ceremonies and vain hopes of reaching the world of the dead through the use of black magic.
Republicanism is growing in popularity and, with no children to reign as king or queen in the future, Victoria will probably be the last and infamous Queen of England.
Screams of protestation rise among the people of London. The Queen's orders are clearly insane. The country is nothing but fire and blood, the alleys are full of rebels and conspirators, talks of an oncoming war are heard, the Queen's effigy is burned everywhere, aristocrats are murdered, airships are set on fire, cog-men are destroyed.
And the consumption of drugs is growing.
YOU are an english citizen, rich or poor, man or woman, old or young, biological... or mechanical.
You have been contacted by a mysterious group of rebels. And you will be given a mission.
The nation is in danger. A massacre must be avoided. You will need to sacrifice a queen.
