Steam City

Steam City is a narrative-driven experience that drops players into a vast industrial metropolis fueled by steam and forbidden technology. You play as Xira Vellhart, a young private detective partnering with her father Alder Vellhart to investigate conspiracies hidden beneath smoke, steel and corruption. An ancient force stirs below the city and Atherium links its fate to those who can sense it—the Nexaris.
