About This Game

Episode One: A giant steampunk robot destroys the Player's suburban home; the Player teams up with scholars-turned-detectives Tycho Brahe and Jonathan Gabriel to investigate Fruit Fucker Prime while smaller Fruit Fuckers attack. Episode Two: A lead on Fruit Fucker Prime's designer points to the sanatorium holding Dr. Jonathan Crazoir — inventor of the Fruit Fuckers — who promises his research files in exchange for freedom from the madhouse and its eccentric animal-hunting owner Dr. Wolfington. Episode Three: A call draws the group to the Arcadia boardwalk, where class-bestowing pins are found, a stolen tome recovered, and a disembodied colleague named Jim — a skull in a jar of green liquid — joins the party. Episode Four: After the apocalypse triggered by Yog Modaign's defeat, Gabe and Dr. Blood land in Underhell. Unable to harm its inhabitants directly, they recruit Underhell creatures to fight while searching for Tycho and the others, and Dr. Blood attempts to reunite with Hestia — the lover he once traded away for knowledge.
