Backstory


Neo-Essurarlands. 2045.
In a city ruled by neon lights and technological marvels, the people have become addicted to the one commodity that rules their every waking moment: cases.
These sleek, mysterious containers are more than just physical objects; they are the vessels of the new digital age.
What’s inside? Entertainment in its purest form.
Braindances that immerse the mind in vivid, dreamlike experiences.
Cyberware that enhances the body in ways once thought impossible.
And illegal tech that takes addiction to a whole new level.
People pay obscene amounts of money for these cases, willing to trade everything for their next fix.
Cases are everywhere. On the streets, in the black market, in every back alley and neon-lit storefront.
For the rich, it’s a luxury; for the poor, it’s a desperate escape.
But as the demand grew, so did the unscrupulous players in the shadows.
Enter the hackers—genius minds with a thirst for chaos.
They saw an opportunity, a way to disrupt the system and profit from the unrelenting greed of Neo-Essurarlands’ citizens.
They created a new breed of case—Sabotage Cases. These cases, when opened, don’t deliver the promised contents.
Instead, they trigger a devastating security breach that siphons every last credit from the victim’s account, leaving them with nothing but a hollow shell.
The hackers made their mark on the city, playing a game where the stakes were life and death.
And then, one fateful day, a Sabotage Case found its way into the hands of an unfortunate individual.
Meet Kit.
Once a rising star in the neon-lit world of Neo-Essurarlands, Kit had it all.
A sharp mind and a career in high-risk investigations in the city’s dangerous underbelly, working on Sabotage cases that exposed the darkest secrets of the corporate elites.
Kit’s job was to uncover the hidden agendas of powerful players—the kinds of cases that could make or break lives.
But with great power came great risk, and Kit learned that firsthand.
The case that would change Kit's life forever was meant to be another job—another high-stakes mission to expose corruption.
But in the murky depths of the city’s underworld, even the simplest deal could spiral into chaos.
What started as a routine investigation turned into a web of deceit, betrayal, and danger.
Kit uncovered something far bigger than they had anticipated: a sprawling conspiracy that linked corrupt corporations, criminal syndicates, and government officials in a global network of lies.
In their pursuit of justice, Kit became a target.
The truth was leaked, and Kit was framed.
The enemies they had exposed came after them with everything they had.
Their job was stripped away, their bank accounts drained, and their name blacklisted.
Their comfortable life evaporated in an instant, and soon, Kit was living on the streets of Neo-Essurarlands, no better than the very criminals they once hunted.
In those dark days, Kit had little more than a handful of credits to their name—a far cry from the wealth and security they once had.
But even in the face of ruin, Kit refused to succumb to the harsh realities of the city.
They knew they needed to rebuild, and fast.
With what little money Kit had left, they made a desperate decision: to open a Buy and Sell shop—a humble little storefront tucked away in the city’s darkest corners.
But this wasn’t just any shop. Kit began dealing in cases.
But not the usual entertainment or tech-filled cases that flooded the market.
These were dangerous, often illegal, and filled with the kinds of artifacts that could change the balance of power in the city.
From secret documents to rare, black-market tech, these were cases that had the potential to either make or break the people who dared to open them.
The city’s dark pulse still echoed in Kit’s veins as they started to attract the desperate, the wealthy, and the criminal.
Each case sold was a gamble—a risk. But it was Kit’s only way of surviving in a world that had left them behind.
With every case sold, Kit slowly began to climb, not out of desire for wealth, but for survival and control.
In a city where danger lurked around every corner, Kit knew that if they were going to live, they would need to play the game just as ruthlessly as the people who had once ruined them.
You, the player, control Kit’s journey as they navigate a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger is always just one decision away.
Will Kit use their street smarts, resilience, and the connections they've made in the underworld to rise from the ashes of their former life? Can they build a new empire, or will they fall victim to the corrupt forces they once fought against?
In a city where even the smallest misstep can mean death, Kit must stay one step ahead—or risk losing everything again.
Will they find redemption and power, or will they be consumed by the very system they tried to expose?
The city of Neo-Essurarlands awaits. Choose wisely.
