How it feels

A fast-paced, imaginative pulp adventure where you unravel conspiracies and fight fascists in a vivid retro-futuristic 1930s world, driven entirely by text and your own imagination.

What players say

Players love the dieselpunk globe-trotting story and making their character feel competent, but split on pacing, some say it drags mid-game and introduces too many characters too fast. The optional romance and the inclusion of fake 1930s-style ads are frequent points of praise.
