The Echo of Eternal Silence in the Fog

When the steam turns the map yellow, the ancient gods are chewing on the edges of the gears. Welcome to this city entangled in steam and fog: slime flowing in the brass pipes, factory chimneys spouting not soot, but tentacle-shaped fog with whispers; engineers pray to the gears engraved with runes, and under the detective's magnifying glass, each brass screw is slowly squirming. There is no absolute god here - maybe you are an atheist holding a wrench, but you feel the pulse while repairing machinery; maybe you are an archaeologist studying ancient books and discover that the Lord of the Deep Sea in the records is quietly opening his eyes through the steam network.
