Shape your story in the metropolis of New Arc, ‘The Shining City of Progress’, where you arrive by steerage of a steamship, full of wonder and hope - but things are never quite as bright as they appear. Dark smoke from the factories chokes the skies, segregation, inequality, and corruption run rampant. In order to survive and save your loved ones, you will have to rise from the very bottom, make tough decisions, and get your hands dirty with the help of your diverse party of companions.
Gameplay features:

- Gather your Party
- You won’t be alone on these shores. Meet and recruit a diverse cast of characters, learn their stories, face their demons together and help them grow, or use them for your own gain and discard them as fits your schemes. Who knows, maybe you will even find your true love!

- Evolve your character as you see fit using a detailed progression system with 6 character classes and 12 subclasses.
