What is City of Mist?
City of Mist is a role-playing game of film noir investigation and super powered action. It is set in a modern world rife with crime, conspiracies, and mysteries. The protagonists are Gateways, ordinary people who became the living embodiment of a legend, their Mythos. While your Gateways may seek to strike a balance between the mysterious nature of their Mythos and their mortal aspirations, the powers within them always threaten to tear their lives apart. They have unwittingly become a part of a secret world of clashing stories, and soon other legends will come looking for them with demands.
Who are you?
In the shadows of shiny skyscrapers and derelict residential blocks, ancient stories and urban legends assume physical form, choosing mortal beings as their Gateways to this world. But the Mist, a mystical veil known only to a select few, prevents the unwitting denizens of the City from ever acknowledging the miracles they witness daily, hiding their true nature from one another. Distracted by their everyday hopes and fears, the people on the streets remain oblivious to the clash of mythical forces that drive and control the very life of the City.
You were an ordinary person—until the seed of the legendary awoke within you. Now you seek answers to questions about your powers, but the truth always seems to elude you. Yet at the same time, you still want what every human being wants: love, money, power, peace of mind. Together with your ragtag crew of gifted individuals, you work to reveal the powers operating in the dark smoky alleys of the City, just as those very powers seek you out for what you are. You will hit the streets in search of the strange cases, loose ends, and unsolved mysteries that will lead you to the truth, inevitably clashing with other legends in mortal form, agents of the powers beyond the Mist.
Be warned—the truth is as dangerous as the forces that hide it. Only when you find yourself sacrificing that which is dearest to you will you truly learn the answer to the ultimate question: "Who am I?" . But will it be worth it?
What this game is about?
Once, in the very beginning, there was only the City of Mist. The Mist started there, but its power and its oniric qualities could not be contained. Soon it spread with utmost speed, consuming all, like a malignant tumor. And now you live in a World of Mist. But the world did not change, everything looks exactly the same. Everyone lives their lives as before, don't recognizing the undeniable truth, that the world changed. Strange things started to happen and everybody just pretends to don't see them.
Most of them were harmless, but some dangerous, and some even lethal. Crimes and deaths of supernatural origin happen, but when the Mist intervenes, the authorities disappear, the police ignores and nobody really cares. Only you, and maybe others that have awakened like you, care. Those people that care about the state of the world founded a secret organization, the Light Beacon, the only option for those that want to know the truth. They are deeply unsatisfied with the current situation, and willing to take justice in their own hands.
You are about to embark in a journey of discovery that offers no way back.
