The Passage
The Passage is a dark steampunk game with a lot of personal drama and some elements of cosmic horror. It focuses on how the individuals cope with the situation and how they manage to keep up hope or how they react when hope dwindles. Depending on the character this may result in relationship drama, intrigue plot, rebellion, camaraderie, faith or sacrifice.
Despite the dark themes, drama and cosmic horror elements the game is supposed to have an overarching wholesome ending.
