In the searing light of the far future, one thousand years beyond the fall of Earth
The world ended. The sun itself is dying. Yet among the glowing embers and against all odds, life persists. Welcome to the Eddawielm: An accretion disk formed of the flames of a shattered Solar System, strewn with the tumbling fragments of dead planets, and littered with the defiant remnants of mankind; a new world... with all the old problems.Pickled gherkins and dead men floating
In this collection of mystery, misadventure, romance and horror, workmen swoop along cables high above a teeming city, praying they don’t plummet to their doom, while below them, a young seamstress sees too much and finds herself threatened by the sordid side of city politics. In the shadows of the deeper streets, an ill-fated academic studies a mysterious artefact, a detective investigates a kidnapping, and farmers tending fields of vat-grown flesh contend with the arrival of bodies in their meaty crop.Heroes, villains and ghosts

Well! This wasn't what I expected and I'll be finishing it at a later date but a heads up for those looking at this one! To the player: If you were expecting an interactive text game like Roadwarden and other similar games, this may not be your game! This game is actually just a book! You click through and the paragraphs fade into view while you read. I'm sure that if you have a hard time reading physical books this might be helpful to you! Otherwise, the only interaction you're getting here is clicking to the next paragraph. To the Dev: Not bad at all for what it is! I have some very minor complaints and that's just lack of music (easier said than done, I know getting stuff is a pain.) and the inability to change the font color. The orange on black kind of hurts your eyes after awhile and it'd be nice to swap to some pre-made palettes or even just a little color wheel selector.
