"Victor Frankenstein has been dead for over a century, yet the spectre of his legacy is still haunting you."
A gothic noir game where you play as a private eye living in a world where Victor Frankenstein, Henry Jekyll, Dorian Gray, and the Invisible Man are all historical figures who used a mysterious substance called the Blood of Creation to unintentionally engineer their downfall. It has since been outlawed, with the members of a clandestine organization called the Society of the Boreal Pyre being particularly dedicated to eradicating it from the face of the Earth.
So why did one of their most dedicated members steal the Blood of Creation and disappear into the night?
While it's only the very beginning of the story, I think it does a great job setting up its premise, getting all the necessary information across quickly and concisely, especially for such a particular alt-history premise.
Some of that clarity is due to the little bit of exposition we get at the very beginning, and if this game gets a chapter 2, I'd like the exposition to be cut in favor of more natural introduction of the world and its concepts. But for the length it's at, I'm glad I didn't have to listen to the two characters babble about what the blood of creation is, or other concepts the both know about.
Overall, great start! I hope to see more.
