The New World looms on the horizon, on its shore the shining city of progress, and the last beacon of hope in your search for a cure to your family's fatal disease - New Arc. You arrive to this foreign land by steerage of a steamship, cramped with thousands of other immigrants, a stranger in a strange land, full of wonder. But you will soon discover that the city's beauty runs only skin-deep and all you find is rot beneath the golden facade.

Storytelling needs work.
The chapter available in early release is reasonable sized, but the introduction segment was poorly thought out without adding notable value that I could see. Combat is fairly simplistic with a surprisingly lack of variety of approach. Several chapter 1 quests feel incomplete or bugged. Inventory management needs serious improvement, I carefully redirect equipment that is class specific to the character of that class, then a bit later, all equipment not equipped is back on the main character. Weight is listed, but there is no indicator it is in use. The camera function is jagged and irritating, even on manual mode. I spent more time fighting it than any other part of the controls. Overall, the storytelling feels like a foundation, not a first chapter. Hopefully, the writers will be able to weave together a coherent storyline, cutting content that doesn't contribute to it.
