You have 4 stats, and a series of random encounter cards you can chose from (or choose to discard).
These cards usually relate to one stat, and have a probability of success given your stat. If you succeed you gain tat, and 2 points to that stat. If you fail you gain 1 point to that stat, and occasionally a wound or nightmare.
Too many wounds or nightmares, and you are temporarilly out of the normal game, and have to play to get back in. Stats tend to drop.
If you run out of cards then there a series of fixed storyletts that can be played at various levels, that unveil a little of what life in this buried Victorian city is like.
TBH The story is not what I was hopping for when I started playing. It's just compelling enough to keep playing, but not really that intriguing.
There's only one decision point in the game (fairly early on), other than that it's fairly linear, and you gain access to everything. I think it would be more immersive if you could be "connected to the police" (or church) and the same time as "connected to criminals" (or hell).
