Story
AI-assisted summaryYou play a detective who wakes in a wrecked hostel room in Martinaise, a poor district of Revachol, with no memory of himself or the world. A severe hangover follows a drug-fueled blackout. Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi, from another precinct, says you must investigate a man found hanging in the vacant ground behind the hostel. Elysium is split into isolas of land and sea, divided by the Pale, a mist where reality breaks down. Revachol was once a superpower, then a communist commune, and is now held by a coalition of moralist-capitalist nations. Policing is left to the Revachol Citizens Militia. There is little traditional combat. You explore the district, question people, and use twenty-four skills that can argue inside your head while you try to identify the victim and recover who you are.
Full story (spoilers)
The detective learns he is Lieutenant Harrier Du Bois, Harry, a decorated Revachol Citizens Militia officer who, on being given the hanged-man case, drank through a three-day collapse in Martinaise. He and Kim link the death to a dock strike against Wild Pines. They speak with union boss Evrart Claire and negotiator Joyce Messier, who names the victim as mercenary colonel Ellis Kortenaer, called Lely, and warns that his squad has gone rogue. Lely was shot before the hanging. The Hardie Boys claim they killed him for trying to rape hostel guest Klaasje. She says the encounter was consensual and that he was shot in the mouth; fearing exposure as a corporate spy, she had Ruby and the Hardie Boys fake the lynching. Ruby, hiding in a derelict building, knocks them out with a Pale radio device, then escapes or dies. After a mercenary standoff turns into a gunfight, Harry is wounded for days. Kim may be hospitalized, in which case the child Cuno becomes his partner. The shot is traced to a coastal fortress, where deserter and ex-commissar Iosef Lilianovich Dros confesses he fired from jealousy and hatred of what Lely stood for. They arrest him. The Insulindian Phasmid then appears; chemicals it gives off may have inflamed Dros for years. It can speak with Harry, calls the Pale a product of human self-reflection, and urges him onward. His squad meets him later. Jean Vicquemare says a fiancée's departure years earlier caused the breakdown. In the best outcome they invite Harry and Kim or Cuno into a special unit.
