New Arc Line

New Arc Line is a role-playing game set in a world where magic and technology meet. You arrive by steamship as an immigrant in New Arc, a shining city where you hope to find a cure for your family’s fatal disease. Beneath its golden façade, factories choke the sky with smoke, while segregation, inequality and corruption shape life in the city. You must rise from the bottom and make difficult choices, whatever they cost.

Your character and choices

Create a Human or Elf character, choose their gender, background and appearance, and decide how to pursue your goals. The city’s inhabitants may treat you differently because of their own prejudices and your choices. You can fight, steal or talk your way forward, and your actions affect countless lives; their consequences unfold as your exploits make the newspapers and alter the fate of the New World.

Companions and relationships

Meet and recruit a diverse cast of companions, learn their stories, face their personal struggles together and help them grow—or use them for your own ends and leave them behind. You can make allies and enemies, fall in love and become involved in a massive conspiracy. Your party accompanies you through the trials of the New World.

Magic and technology

You can develop magical or technological abilities. Magic includes the Hellfire occultist, who incinerates enemies; mystical Voodoo abilities that curse them; and the Celestial sage, who supports allies. Alternatively, you can become a Steampunk mechanic, Dieselpunk engineer or Teslapunk scientist, and turn your character into a walking, steam-powered fortress.

Tactical battles

Combat takes place in turn-based tactical battles commanded by your party. You can meet encounters head-on or study each situation and plan strategies to overcome difficult odds. Skills, spells, crafting recipes and consumables give you ways to shift the balance of a fight.
