Isometric pixel-art Manhattan in the 1920s during a thunderstorm: rain over Art Deco skyscrapers, Central Park and the rivers

SINGULARITY

Steer 1920s Manhattan from the shadows. One city, countless universes – and only ten anchors to hold them.

THE CONCEPT

A secret lodge. A split world.

It is 1920, and you lead a secret lodge that steers Manhattan from the shadows – not by building streets, but with laboratories, generators, radio towers and a strange new power called psy. An experiment with ether crystals has split the world into countless parallel Manhattans, and every player rules one of them. You play at your own pace: the timelines only meet at sync points, where trades through time portals, glimpses into rival worlds and stolen landmarks are resolved. Across the whole multiverse there are only ten anchors – the Empire State Building, Wall Street, the Statue of Liberty and their peers. Whoever holds six keeps their universe; everyone else falls into the singularity. Meanwhile rain, fog and thunderstorms roll over the rivers while zeppelins drift above the skyline.

SCREENSHOTS

A city that never sleeps – or clears up.

Thunderstorm over the Lower East Side and the Brooklyn Bridge — **Thunderstorm.** Lightning over the East River cuts your power output.

In-game newspaper The Manhattan Ether — **The Manhattan Ether.** Every turn starts with the news.

The game interface with the city map and the district panel — **Your lodge.** Districts, facilities, psy actions.

Fog drifting over the Hudson and Greenwich Village — **Fog.** It rolls in from the harbour – and the press loses track.
