This is a game about choice, where you'll have to master strategic turn-based battles and weapons from the early 20th century.

Along the way you'll be able to recruit up to 25 different allies, from seven different combat classes, to form your revolutionary party.
As you journey and fight, you'll be able to talk to numerous characters on your travels, learning information and secrets that will help you progress. Putting the effort in to learn more about each area you visit will help avoid surprises, could help you diffuse tricky situations without a fight, or win more allies to the cause. There are also five unique endings depending on how you progress through the game, so the more you learn the better informed you'll be to make critical decisions. And with a strange supernatural force to be uncovered at the heart of the city's corruption, you'll want to know your enemy well.
