“At a warehouse on 17th street, surgeries are performed in accordance with the phase of the moon. In the suburbs, a housewife dotes on a large dog with man-like hands. Roaming the backwoods, there is a man who traded his hand to a hungry devil for immortality. He spends his nights polishing his hook. These are the Chronicles of Darkness, tales of a world like ours, but just slightly wrong. A place we recognize, but where our fears take on lives of their own.”
The segregation between the wealthy and the poor has never been more apparent. Large areas of the suburbs go ignored, left to fend for themselves as the power and money are contained in the Adelaide CBD. Suffering decades of harsh criticisms, cold cases in the hundreds and a high turnover rate, SAPOL is a shell of its former self, now almost entirely focused on the Adelaide CBD. As a result of this, street gangs have become the norm. Drugs, trafficking and extortion are common place. Corruption, racism and backwards political views have kept Adelaide in an almost stasis-like state. Money, power and the people you know are what will get you ahead in life. Will you get swallowed up in corruption? Will you fight for progress and change? Will you rise to the top? Or will you simply become another statistic? The choice is yours…
