City of Dis is a Game Noir game with aspects of the Steampunk genre and characteristics of Infamous and the not released as of then Deus Ex: Human Revolution and LA Noire games.
The idea was developed back in the winter of 2011 as part of a project for the "Writing for Video Games and Emerging Media " at Ithaca College.
You played as Spayde, a detective working on a mobile drilling city working its way through a moon, its residents harvesting the important mineral known as aether.
