"2449 - Our depiction of this future has a very 1920's vibe. Everything from the fashion, to the cars, to the architecture, even the technology, feel decidedly less "futuristic." While technology still plays an integral role in our story and the world, we have purposely toned it down substantially, instead choosing to focus on refining a few key innovations." - Morgan Rosenblum
"The goal was to create a unique and unusual future, one that might actually feel more like an alternate reality or vivid dream." - Matthew Medney
The year is 2449 - Abel Kane, an accomplished writer, witnesses a murder. But when he discovers the victim was a machine in a "skin suit", his life is turned upside down. Its mere existence is either an anomaly or part of a surreptitious takeover. Soon Abel finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. The more he investigates, the more he begins to fear he might be the only human left.
