Seismic Squirrel is a company that has created a narrative-driven role-playing game set in a retro-futuristic alternate history of New York City in 1939. The game features a world transformed by the discovery of Aether, a substance that has revolutionized technology, particularly with anti-gravitational implications. Players take on the role of Gia, a smuggler navigating a city rife with secret societies, corrupt politics, and ambitious gangsters. The game includes turn-based tactical combat, vehicle customization, and a deep narrative where choices matter. Players can recruit and form crews, customize vehicles, and engage in strategic combat and smuggling operations.
