Introduction

Nebula City is a place where hope goes to die and the rain tastes like copper and cheap gin. It’s a city of neon and shadows, but the shadows here are deeper than they should be. Forty years ago, the 'Pantheon' fell—real, living gods who were cast out of the heavens and forced to live in the slums alongside humanity. Now, Zeus sells insurance, Ishtar runs a cabaret, and Anubis is a mortician on the East Side. You are a Private Investigator with a unique specialty: Divine Cases. When a former minor deity is found drained of their ichor in a locked room at the 'Olimpus Hotel,' the police call it a suicide. But you know better. Someone—or something—is hunting the fallen, harvesting their essence for a dark ritual that could set the city ablaze. With your trenchcoat soaked and your revolver loaded with silver-etched bullets, you must navigate the back-alleys of Nebula City, interrogate moody deities, and follow a trail of golden blood before you become the next victim. In this city, even the gods are afraid of the dark. The city's architecture is a jagged mix of 1940s brick and futuristic chrome, all reflected in the oil-slicked puddles of the street. As you dig deeper, the line between the sacred and the profane blurs. You'll find that some gods are still powerful enough to kill you with a thought, while others are so desperate they'll sell their last drop of divinity for a fix of 'Ambrosia,' the city's deadliest drug. Trust no one, keep your matches dry, and remember: in Nebula City, justice is just another word for survival.
