About the Game

The Greatest Game 1872: The Elektrit Conspiracy

A Game Noir espionage thriller set in an alternative 1872, presented as an interactive story game with role-playing elements.

Story

The war between the Caribbean Free States and the United States is over.
But the peace is fragile.

While American President Victoria Woodhull pushes for reconciliation and a new world order, new power blocs are forming in Europe.
Prussia and a communist France are moving toward confrontation.
In between: the democratic Rhine Confederation.

In Frankfurt, the Confederation’s glittering metropolis, life unfolds between salons, gambling houses, and diplomacy.

In St. Paul’s Church, a conference is set to decide the future of Europe.
But the signs are clear: an assassination attempt is coming.

Can the agents Fayola Dumas and Raul Cortez prevent it?
And whose game is the Prussian countess really playing?

Not a novel to read.
A chamber piece to play.
