Seismic Squirrel este o companie de jocuri care dezvoltă un joc de rol bazat pe narațiune, plasat într-o versiune retro-futuristă a orașului New York din 1939. Lumea jocului este remodelată de Aether, o substanță transformatoare cu aplicații antigravitaționale, în timp ce jucătorii o urmăresc pe Gia, o contrabandistă prinsă între bande rivale, societăți secrete și corupție politică. Jocul combină luptele tactice pe ture cu recrutarea echipajului, personalizarea vehiculelor, operațiuni de contrabandă și o poveste ale cărei decizii au consecințe.
