Touched: A Darkening Alley (PBtA)
 |
The cyberpunk future is already a horror show. Now it gets supernatural...
"The shit-holes are getting shittier¸ and no one wants to talk about it. The town that disappeared¸ that video of a lady giving birth to what looked like an octopus¸ or the leaked corp files about a continuous human scream emanating from Jupiter. Why aren't the news feeds talking about this? What are the corps hiding?"
-Antonio Alverez¸ editor-at-large THE CANT
It's 1985. Ever since Nixon privatised the Vietnam War¸ we've been an a downhill slide into corporate hell. We all thought that was a metaphor¸ but maybe we were too optimistic. A Darkening Alley is a low-magic¸ dark horror setting for The Sprawl. R ifts in the fabric of space are starting to crack¸ opening portals to strange new worlds filled with beings and energies far beyond our understanding; humanity is beginning to feel the effects. Strange happenings are becoming more and more common. The street-side prophets are starting to sound a bit reasonable. The corporations smell power and have started pouring a lot of money into investigating and documenting these occurrences-that's where you come in.
