A small story of one Francis Burke, private investigator and insurance claims investigator. On a tip from a drinking buddy, who in their abstract rambles happens to mention some derelict properties being occupied by unusual tenants, Francis decides to go and see for himself if he properties in question are being unreasonably utilized. After doing some background research, Francis finds that there are several addresses registered to these locations- art school students, medical interns, even liscensed and accredited practicing doctors. Yet there is no registered owner of the properties that Francis can find, no... anything. Francis decides to go and investigate on his own, he is a registered P.I. after all, and if his credentials can't help him past any possible junkies and squatters, his sidearm certantly can.
However, when his drinking buddy learns of his intentions, he tries to dissuade him. "I was drunk", he said, "I didn't know what I was saying,,,", and "seriously Frank, don't go, I couldn't forgive myself if you did". But Francis still has to make his bills, how could he let a potential opportunity pass him by? Francis has had his share of the normal life, and not much of it has worked out for him- aside from his job. It keeps him moving, feeling alive- feeling, at least, something. Anything at all.
It's odd, how it was. Empty. Abandoned. All these people slowly disappearing. The tenements were completly destitute of human life, but... still obviously recently (and very thoroughly) being utilized. In the place of modern conveniences, the majority of the area was candlelit, and seemed as if every room was designed for occult ritual. On further inspection there were bizzare medical devices, metal cages and hanging devices that Francis recoginsed as once being used for restricting living persons during medieval times, and things for which there was no sane reason.
There's no explination for what became of Francis, his friend, or who or what he found along the way- but the rest of the story is a short elevator ride down.


(This backstory is not officaly endorsed)

I know most people dont have to dial a phone number on their house phone and then place the reciever in a seperate device for it to communicate with your computer so you can get an internet signal, but if youre the type of person that still CHOOSES to (hey i think its fun, no kidding around at all), this might be your kind of game.

Participation is low right now, but it leans heavily on involvement in the game forums also. The best quality is that the players basically make the storyline or missions, because its largely RP dependent. not a big deal. games like "the secret world" took metagaming and made a new art out of it. this is a little more like a platform for a table top game. if you can get a small group together of 6 -7 people you can design and run your own campaigns in a Deus-ex / Mass Effect type scenario.

Its Free to play also ( it is F2P ) the steam version is a kick-starter to get it back on its feet, and outside of telnet based programs its one of the oldest (meaning good) online games ive found. so break out that little white golf visor you might call a hat and focus: give this a try. you might like it.
