City of Mist is a role-playing game of film-noir investigation and super-powered action. It is set in a modern metropolis rife with crime¸ conspiracies¸ and mysteries. The protagonists are Rifts¸ ordinary people who became the living embodiment of a legend¸ their Mythos. While your Rifts may seek to strike a balance between the mysterious nature of their Mythos and their mortal aspirations¸ the powers within them always threaten to tear their lives apart. They have unwittingly become a part of a secret world of clashing stories¸ and soon other legends will come looking for them with demands.
City of Mist is based on the story-driven Apocalypse Engine¸ but it takes a step further into narrative gaming by introducing several new features:
-
Rich character motivations built around compelling Mysteries and Identities. Follow your characters' themes to gain their benefits and evolve them or go against them to discover new aspects with a unique non-linear character evolution system.
-
Know no limits for powers¸ abilities¸ traits¸ gear¸ or allies. Everything in City of Mist is described by free text tags¸ so you can create exactly the character you want.
-
Full-on narrative engine¸ with an edge. Every action you take in the game is based on the interpretation of your tags¸ using moves to deliver dramatic outcomes that drive the story forward.
-
Status spectrums¸ a new system of 'narrative damage'. You can use descriptors to create any imaginable setback or advantage so that every action in the fiction¸ in and out of combat¸ can have lasting gameplay implications.
