Angels in the Fog

By Russ Kale
Players: 18
Genre: Sci-fi/noir/retro
Fog
City, as it’s known to the locals, either loves you or grinds you to dust. In
your case, it does both on alternating days. A city of failed writers, corrupt
officials with broken social lives, amnesiac starlets, private eyes with
shallow pockets, and businessmen with bank vaults where their hearts should be,
and at the heart of the city, and your life, lies Pier Seventeen. Pier
Seventeen is a place to drink, to escape from it all, to rub shoulders, to rub
out enemies, and to rub away memories. In Pier Seventeen’s penthouse lives the
‘designer’ of Fog City, Levi Montgomery. This man is responsible for the
systems that surround you, the picture houses and the utilities and the
holograms. Slowly but surely, that man has stripped away the emotion, love and
tactility from everyone in Fog City. Nobody reads or prays, or whispers secrets
to another heart under the bedsheets. You’ve often wished someone would get rid
of him.
And
now someone has.
Drawn
to Pier Seventeen late tonight, you’ve fallen into a web of deception and
murder. Someone did this to Levi Montgomery. Maybe it was you: after all,
everyone here has secrets. More importantly, everyone in Fog City is the star
of their own story. Now if only you could remember how your story started, or
where you were half an hour ago…
