<p>The game takes place in an alternate version of the 20th century, where humans and Arcanists, who possess magical powers, co-exist. The story starts on the last day of 1999, when a mysterious phenomenon called the <em>"Storm"</em> threatens to erase all history.</p>

<p>Players take control of a timekeeper named Vertin to save the world from unraveling into total and utter chaos.</p>

<p><em>"The Utopia Test"</em> introduced gamers to the prologue and the game's first three chapters. This means they can access different locations and periods of history, including the Swinging 60s in London.</p>

<p>Aside from Vertin, the closed beta allows players to meet other characters. They are Sonetto, Vertin's assistant; pirate radio DJ Regulus; and members of Manus Vindictae, a mysterious arcanist faction.</p>

<p>Players can also try out the game's combat system. According to the developers, it features card-based battles and spinning wheels to select Arcanists.</p>
