You are codially invited to step back in time to
the year 1830 in the culturally flourishing and
powerful city of London. Modern day necessities
such as cars and electricity are yet to be invented
and the strict mannerisms that are the society's
norms are yet to be relaxed. However, despite the
inexistence of the little things we take for granted
today, England's citizens manage to live a reasonably
pleasant life - some more pleasantly luxurious than
others. Those that live the reasonably pleasant
life are the working class - the dirty, the hard
working, the daring, the invaluably witty, and the
drunken and lively gatherings. While those that
live the life of luxury are the society's elite - * the
glamourous, the glittering parties, the handsome
gentlemen, the beautiful debutantes ... The rich girl,
the humble boy, the forbidden love, the stolen
glances, the whispers, the scandal, the mystery
... And the revenge. Don't be fooled by thinking you
can go unnoticed however, for an unknown individual
is watching and notating every move you make.
Welcome to Phantom Masquerade.
