Play as a broken legend in a world ravaged by a war between two hostile superpowered factions set in a history alternative to our own. Will you betray centuries of secrecy in order to protect what you’ve grown attached to, or will you cave and lead the world down a path of ash?
Plot Summary
It’s been 50 years since The War of Reformation, a 10 year conflict between two factions of the newly emerged augmented humans that devestated the world. Cities were destroyed, hundreds of millions died, and a whole continent was sunk. But since then the world has recovered, and the winning side evolved into The Praetorium, the de facto rulers of the new world order. The year is 2023, and tensions between the two superpowered factions are rising once again.
The whole world holds their breath wondering if there will be another mass slaughter.
You have sat on the sidelines of history for thousands of years, witnessing the birth of modern society. You watched, not even raising a finger, as Chicago was literally reduced to a smoking hole in the ground.
You could have stopped it, it was within your power, but you didn’t. Having lost touch with your humanity, you simply drifted, feeling nothing. But now you are thrust into a situation that forces you to take a stand. Will you reclaim your humanity, or will you finally fully cast it off, becoming something greater.

Hello all, I’m Dr. Dense.
I’ve been a longtime lurker and have always wanted to try my hand at writing a COG myself, and after fiddling with the story and world for half a year I have finally decided it was ready to see the light of day. I have some minor experince in writing but this is my first real attempt at writing a huge project like this, and I’m super excited to start making headway. I am also a complete amatuer when it comes to coding, but with that being said I have tested the demo quite extensivly and don’t expect any problems, but we all know how these things go .
Have a good day all, and I would appreciate hearing your thoughts
