Iron City

A 1930s crime story told through a free-roam city map rather than a straight line of scenes, this demo is a vertical slice, not the finished thing, and it plays like one: compact, a little rough at the edges, aimed at establishing the world before anything bigger happens.

The setup is noir-standard so far: a city, a set of core characters getting introduced, and a protagonist moving through both. There's no grand twist revealed yet, just the groundwork for one.

Play consists of working through a full intro and five quest segments, moving between locations on the world map rather than clicking through a single corridor of events. Around 110 images and six animated scenes carry the current content, backed by roughly 1400 words of dialogue and narration, so this is closer to a proof of concept than a full story.
