I loved "Slouching towards Bedlam".
Does anyone know of any other games that have that "the-future-as-it-might-have-been-imagined-long-ago"-feel? Anything steampunk qualifies, I'm also thinking of Jules Verne's novels and even the world of "Avatar; The Legend of Korra".

More of a light fantasy with steampunk elements than strict steampunk (the setting is very low on realism and high on devils, talking animals, and eldritch horrors)" --Christina Nordlander...
