    Dark Obsidian - A Neo-Noir Game

    You can't handle this place

    Welcome to Obsidian City where the sun never shines, the crime never sleeps and love never dies.

    A dark city in all sense of the word, Obsidian City is lucky to see one day of sunshine. If the city is dark at night, it isn't much better during the day. Too much smog and cloud blocks out the half decent light that struggles in between the skyscrapers. People make do though, possibly a little angrier than those who live under the undivided sun, a little more miserable, a little more hopeless. This is no city for the weak, and it certainly isn't a tourist hot-spot.

    Obsidian City was never a shining city on the hill, it was built and born as if already crumbling down. Beneath the heavy, dark clouds that rarely seem to let up, lies a sprawling mecca of theft, corruption and greed. It really is no wonder that in such sunlight starved streets, there is little light to be had in the city’s inhabitants. Each jewel-named district hardly lives up to its name: The Ruby District, a self-sufficient community of its own, ruled by whores, who are the law. The rich are safely tucked away in The Onyx Towers, far from their poorer brethren, the utterly impoverished who languish in the Ivory Narrows.

    Outside of The Ruby District, where the only laws are their laws, it is not the oft corrupt and always under funded police force that holds the most sway in the run of Obsidian City. No, the city is divided up and controlled by three major crime families, in close environs that seem to speak of a constant threat of war between two or more of the ruling families.

    The Russians led by the Petrovskii Family, from their base of operations, Duma, an upscale nightclub known for its beautiful women and for the illegal deals made in dark back rooms, lord over the Diamond District. The Irish led by the O'Donnell Family, from the Irish pub that the first O'Donnell to come to America founded, long ago, loud and busy and full of their history, control the Emerald District. The Italians led by the Pavoni Family, from their Italian family restaurant in the center of the Topaz district, and come with as much flourish and ceremony in both their illegal deeds and their lifestyle.

    The Families are not the only ones that the populace should fear, as there have been recent whispers that there is a serial killer preying upon the inhabitants of the city, lurking in the shadows and bringing death with them.

    As if the population of Obsidian City didn't have enough on their plate, they now need to look over their shoulder at every step.

    And so do you.

    Welcome to the world of spies and superpowers...

    It wasn't always this way, once you were a normal person living a normal life. It might not have been perfect but it was yours. Then slowly everything began to fall apart. You started fires just by thinking about it. You generated electricity from your hands. You began to see the dead. Then they came for you. Men and women in black suits calling themselves the Gardiner Initiative who claimed they were there to help you.

    Whether you wanted that help or not.

    They brought to a secret location called Gene Unit. To help learn to use your new power. To make you and others like you into the world's next generation of spies.

    Premise


    October 15, 2025 will forever be known as the day the third wizarding war ended. After a year of struggle and death, hope has once more returned to the wizard world and law and order are being restored. Yet all is not well in the world, there are changes coming, some more dangerous than others.

    The spell that a year ago brought Voldemort and his followers back from the dead is still active. The mystery of how the dead can return to live still unsolved. As long as it is, the dead will keep returning. Who will be the next to arrive, and will they be friend or foe?

    In addition, an unknown curse has spread amongst the Wizarding population, infecting everyone, from child to adult. Few know of its existence, no one knows what it does; but it has the potential to turn the world upside down.

    At the same time, vampires are settling in England. A new town is founded, bigger and more modern than anything the country has seen before. But what are their motives? How much will the world change?

    The wizards of the UK must learn to adapt, but can they?

    The plot is centered around the hunt for Horcruxes, which have been scattered across the globe. It also will explore possibilities for what might have happened should things have gone differently in canon after the Marauders' graduation (for example, should Snape/Peter decide not to go to the other side).

    Over the course of the game, Regulus will have presented the Order of the Phoenix with what he knows about the Horcruxes: the location of the first and that there are four more somewhere in the world. This sets off a chain of events leading to Voldemort and Dumbledore's deaths when Dumbledore sacrifices himself to buy Order time to find the Horcruxes and a mad scramble between the Order, Death Eaters, and Ministry to reach the Horcruxes first with journalists trailing behind before Voldemort can return.

    ROADMAPS starts December 11.
    We expect to see you there.
