in Esoteric Nocturne - World in DarknessEverything players need to know to play in your game
Mankind is trapped in an Illusion. Held captives by our prisoners. We can not see the great citadels of Metropolis towering over our highest skyscrapers. We can not hear the screams from the cellar hidden stairs take us to. We can not smell the blood and burnt flesh from those poor souls sacrificed to long forgotten Gods, in lost alleys. We feel isolated, alone, and try out utmost to stay away from the dangers, the darkness of the city we dwell in.
Some of us experience glimpses from beyond the veil. We have this strange feeling that something is not right—the ramblings of a madman in the subway seems to carry a hidden message, the since long closed down slaughterhouse we pass everyday have freshly bloodstained in front of it, and our reclusive neighbor doesn’t appear to be completely human in certain angles.
By slowly discovering the truth about our prison, our captors and our hidden pasts, we can finally awaken from our induced sleep and take control of our destiny.
