A sprawling neo-urban city lies beneath a black sun, enveloped by a desolate wasteland. The city's bustling populace mills about, illuminated by a line-up of flickering neon signs and flashing holograms. Networks of suspended roads and bridges make up the city's levels, with the surface level impoverished and the highest level exclusive to only the wealthiest of citizens.

It was only decades prior that humanity faced extinction from global warming, yet as the sun began to first scorch the surface of the Earth, humans discovered a new fuel in abundance beneath the Earth's crust. This fuel, taloson, possessed an array of unusual physical and chemical properties, and dwarfed the output of its competing fuels. The energy crisis was solved overnight, and mankind ascended from the information age into the technology age.

Supercities were constructed, ones that could shield the human population from the inhospitable environment that began brewing on the Earth's surface. The largest of these cities, Eden, became the frontier of scientific advancement.

Unfortunately, in humanity's race to beat global warming, the effects of taloson exposure to humans was only discovered when it was already too late. The fuel caused massive genetic mutations in select individuals, which gave birth to unholy monsters. These monsters have since gone into hiding, emerging only to feed on the human population. They became too much for the cities' law enforcement to handle. Something had to be done.

Soon after the monster epidemic began, scientists found a way to use controlled mutations from taloson to give individuals extraordinary abilities. These individuals, witchers, had physical feats that proved invaluable in hunting down and killing monsters. Unfortunately, only a few would ever survive the procedure to become witchers. The project was soon disavowed by the government, and the witchers either became contract killers, went rogue, or died. It's no secret that witchers are generally despised by the population.

Some humans took up arms and became monster hunters for hire themselves. Some were more successful than others.

This is where you come in. You are a monster hunter in Eden, human or witcher, that roams the city streets looking for contracts, maybe chasing up the odd crime. Maybe you're in it for the money. Maybe you're an altruist. Maybe you have something to prove. Whatever your reason, expect the day may come when you come across a threat that you can't handle alone.

Good luck.
