Premise
"Welcome to Iaceo, and congratulations on finding your way here. Welcome back to the real world.
It's true, though. Whatever world you think you're from, that was just a dream world. The land of the Fae, some people call it. They've got a lot of dream worlds, apparently.
This is Iaceo, the Moon of Pleasure and Paradise. We've set up some communities here for the Returned. We get them in all the time. They were having some trouble adjusting to live on the planet, so after consideration this place was set up to receive all of the gentle folk that found their way out of that mess.
What's that? Oh, don't worry. You can go back if you really want to, except in the case where you were dead or dying back there. Afraid we can't help you then, you sort of ceased to exist there. What? I'm not quite sure how it works, but trust me, it's probably better you're here."
That's what the man said, but you're not quite so sure if the world you just came from was a dream. You have to wonder, though.
Per Specularis is an action/adventure based, plot-drive game with some horror and slice of life elements. There is no power nerfing and characters that have no previous powers are allowed to gain either native game powers or, if possible in the original canon, powers from other characters.
The world is on a moon orbiting a large planet, with several cities and beautiful landscapes, as well as dotted with caves and unexplored forests and jungles. The creatures are strange beings that seem to shift and twist when one is not directly looking at them, and can disappear faster than a blink. It is as dangerous as it is beautiful, so should one venture out of the city, it's best to have company.
The main city, Moscato, is where most of the action is. It's overseen by a small government and houses the headquarters of the four main corporations working on Iaceo.
Your character finds their way into Iaceo via the Portal in the Specularis. Their first trip here is free, but should they try to return, they'll find that all subsequent trips require a certain Toll. What that Toll requires is left entirely up to the girl running the Ticket Booth, and she isn't as much of a pushover as she seems. Players expand the world and plot through missions and jobs provided. Characters can live and work, or adventure, open shops, find amazing riches or experience the most unspeakable of horrors.
