Diesel Punk London 1949 is Action Role Playing Game set in an alternate dystopian future of London.
The fully immersive and beautifully created alternative version of London the game is set in calls heavily on the diesel punk style mixed with a heavy dose of HP Lovecraft dystopian horror.
The player wakes up, without memory on a slab in a lab and is thrown into a roller coaster of discovery involving a diverse range of interesting characters and imaginatively rendered familiar but strangely alien locations.
A series of challenging and interesting quests and missions serve both to cast enlightenment on the players history and the deep and interesting story of this city and to power up the player for challenges they will have to face to restore their rightful place in manor.
The aim of the game to discover and uncover the history of the player and their place in this dystopian world.
Challenging the nefarious ‘Angel’ organisation, the upper-class Gentry or just the local gangs, will you be the one to clean up the streets and bring in a new age of justice, or plunge London into a deeper state of criminal cult supremacy?
The main quest line of London is full of stories and alternative ways to progress, some heart-warming, some morally challenging, and others so dark you simply wouldn’t ‘Adam and Eve’ it.
So try and avoid ended up Brown Bread and maybe, just maybe with a bit of luck you’ll learn what makes this dystopian future tick.
Play is from a first-person perspective where the player controls his character and explores and interacts with various environments, objects, characters, and creatures.
The world follows a reasonably open multi path process with each area being centred on a hub and some key quests unlocking other hubs and quest lines.
There are set of standard RPG skills to determine power progression and characteristics as well as three key stats of health, stamina and sanity that determine encounter parameters.
A range of inventory items, including weapons, apparel and devices (both technical and occult) enhance the players power and ability as the game progresses.
