SETTING

Welcome to New York City, 1930.

Some call it "The Big Apple", "The City That Never Sleeps", "Caput Mundi, The Capital of the World", or, for the six million people who live here, "Home".
But hidden deep in the high rise city blocks lie low rise hopes. The Great Depression has hit New York hard and, thanks to the prohibition laws, the people don't even have any liquor to drown away their sorrows.
It is during these dark times that any easy way out of the bleakness of life can seem like a good idea. Thus, buried within the boroughs of Manhattan, The Midnight Cabaret was born.

And all it costs to be a member is your soul.

A small price to pay for lifelong happiness don't you think? Money, fame, love? Well it's all just a signature away. Take a step into the Midnight Cabaret and see for yourself. Get to know the Master of Ceremonies and all the other denizens of the dark. Eternal damnation sure as hell can be fun!

But look out! The good guys are about.

Gosh darn beings of All That Is Light And Good (or ATILAG as it's sometimes called) always busting in on the party. Trying to convince humans to redeem themselves and all that malarkey. Good thing the dark side has beings of their own to sway the humans towards what is hip 'n' happenin'.
But which side will win over in the end? It's up to the humans to decide.
