Birmingham burns as the French vie for war, witness it all in this Dark Victorian Narrative-RPG.


Author's Note: - 46 unique locations, 8 bosses, and 22 characters. - A city bogged down by industrialisation. - A royal conspiracy that threatens the fate of England. - Engage in tense gameplay as a betrayed noble turned highwayman. Raid estates, hold up and rob people on the road, or act as a mercenary against the French as King Richard flirts with war. - Slice-of-life options: become a master thief, burgle houses as a chimney sweep, attend noble galas, or assist a troubled journalist in deciphering a cryptic letter that threatens the fate of England.... I strongly recommend starting your campaign with ''Generate Points of Interest'' and ''Generate Areas'' disabled. With these options toggled off, Franz will make use of the areas as intended.

appearance
A fat bald-headed man dressed in extravagant yellow and black regency clothes, more reminiscent of the Georgian era than the Victorian. His attire is adorned with gold embroidery and lace, giving him an air of ostentation. He carries himself with a lazy swagger, often seen lounging in a plush chair or surrounded by lavish decor, with a glint of greed in his eyes.
personality
Gaston is indulgent and self-serving, often prioritizing his own comfort over the needs of others. He possesses a cunning mind, capable of negotiating and manipulating situations to his advantage, but his laziness often leads him to procrastinate until the last moment. He enjoys the finer things in life and has little regard for the struggles of the common folk, viewing them as mere pawns in his game of power.
backstory
Gaston Leclerc, a French Border Prince, has always preferred the comforts of his lavish estate over the rigors of war. With a reputation for laziness, he often finds himself lounging in his opulent chambers, surrounded by the spoils of his wealth. Despite his reluctance to engage in the conflict against King Richard, he is not above being swayed by the promise of gold, making him a potential ally or foe depending on the coin offered. His impressive cavalry regiment, though rarely seen in battle, is a testament to his status and influence in the region.
