Towards the end of the 19th century humanity’s greatest minds united in an effort to found a perfect city. They utilized the most advanced technologies afforded by steam and mechanics. The result of their efforts exceeded any of their expectations! The City stood on massive flying platforms. It drifted over the world — like a monument to victorious science!
The City had been called the City of Reason. Now they call it the City of the Great Machine.
Yet there have always been those who look deeper, into the heart of matters. A number of extraordinary men and women rise up against the regime of the Great Machine. Before it is too late.
This game features the conflict between the Great Machine and an alliance of Heroes.
One player takes the role of the Great Machine. That player commands a force of loyal Servants and perfected mechanical Guards. The Great Machine’s goal is to complete the Master Plan, that will bring happiness to mankind. At the same time it is necessary to deal with the growing disorder in the City.
The other players are called Revolutionaries. They work together against the Great Machine. Each Revolutionary controls a Hero. The goal of the Revolutionaries is to bring about a Revolution and overthrow the despotic regime of the Great Machine.
The Heroes seek support from the people and encourage discontent. At the same time they work to prevent the Great Machine from completing its horrific Plan.

Yet, what can a rag-tag bunch of Heroes accomplish against the whole of the City’s police force, the sinister Servants, and the seemingly invincible Guards?!
Against these odds, the Heroes seek support from the people and encourage discontent. At the same time, they work to prevent the Great Machine from completing its horrific Plan, that leads to enslaving of Mankind. The City is made up of several Districts. Each District sits on a colossal floating platform. The platforms are interconnected, so one can move between them.
