It's 1874, a desolate world (named Yaranock) of a gothic victorian civilisation powered by steampunk inventions has been overrun by lovecraftian monsters from hell. The civillians of this world have been consumed and corrupted by these monsters and beasts, converting them to these demon-like creatures. Hell is not fire and pain, but instead a realm of darkness, disparity and paranoia, inhabitated by beasts and monsters of all kind with a hunger for greed and wealth. They reave havoc on Yaranock.
