Café Central:
In the smoke-filled, opulent interior of Café Central in 1913, among the swirling blue clouds of tobacco and the soft clinking of spoons against porcelain, a gathering forms—one that carries more than just a desire for coffee and sweet indulgence. They bring with them fears, ambitions, and unspoken sins. Vienna is obsessed with the occult, and tonight, guided by the enigmatic medium Gladys Osborne Leonard, the guests take their seats to peer beyond the veil of reality. But as the candles flicker and a whisper from another world cuts through the silence, it becomes clear—the spirits that have arrived are not from the past. They are from the future. And they bring terrifying warnings.
Through the crackling candlelight and charged stillness, each guest confronts their own shadow in the time yet to come.
Themes explored in the game:
Fate and Choice – Is the future predetermined, or are the decisions made tonight what will shape history?
Truth and Illusion – When spirits speak, should you believe them? Or are their prophecies merely reflections of your deepest fears?
Morality and Responsibility – If you learn that you are destined to become a monster, can you prevent it? If you know the world will burn, can you extinguish the flames?
Power and Identity – Who are the people at this table? Do they believe they steer the course of history, or are they merely pawns in the hands of something greater?
As the night unfolds, words become weapons, silence grows louder than screams, and the candlelight reveals more than it conceals. When the final spirit speaks and the last glass is emptied, one question will linger in the air, unspoken yet present in every glance:
If you knew what the future holds—would you have the courage to change it?
