Step into the extraordinary realm of a moving endless mansion, a place that defies the bounds of time and reality itself. Within its ethereal walls, lost souls and forgotten treasures from across the ages find sanctuary, as residents wield unique keys to call this enigmatic abode home. Delve into the ever-shifting corridors, where magic becomes a palpable force, unveiling secrets and granting passage through the vast tapestry of history.
Yet, amidst the mansion’s enchanting embrace, a dark undertone lurks. The indomitable presence of the Butler, malevolent ghosts, and residents with sinister intentions cast a shadow over the sanctuary’s allure. Beware the objects infused with evil, for not all keys or locations hold benevolent powers.

It’s the future. Humans have colonised the whole of the Solar System. We’ve not met the Vulcans, and nobody is swishing around lightsabers. But we do have cyborgs and androids, that’s pretty cool! Without faster than light travel, humans are very much stuck to the vicinity of our Solar System. And we’ve done well with it – suitable planets or moons are either terraformed or at the very least been smattered with stations, and colonies have popped up everywhere.

Our story takes place on Callisto, the 2nd largest moon orbiting Jupiter, on Colony13, an abandoned mega colony full of mystery, adventure, and even death! We jump into play about 50 years after it fell silent. What gives?

There’s a lot to be learned about this place. A lot of questions. Like why won’t they add a space between Colony and 13? And why did the 2,500+ colonists abandon it and what’s the difference between an android and a cyborg anyway…? Find out more on the Discord server and make yourself known.
