Having already won the God Wars and overtaken a desert city, your sole focus is now to save the city from drought. You have the position of a prominent associate at a public service conglomerate responsible for killing the rain god and taking over the city. Whether you choose to monopolize the city's public utilities or join forces with powerful necromancers to help local farmers retain their land, every decision you make will influence the story. In addition, you can build alliances with powerful characters, help the needy, laugh as the city burns, or overcome the trauma you suffered during the God Wars, among many other options.

The game provides the option to play as a male or female and choose sexual orientation. Along the way, you will meet renowned necromancers, real estate magnates, journalists, and you will need to outwit them all. Scale the social ladder of Dresediel Lex, drink with undead kings over the ruins of a destroyed civilization, fight giant scorpions and renegade priests, or join forces with them in your quest to prevent the drought.

Ultimately, your choices will shape the game's outcome, be it preventing or committing murder. The game offers ample options to betray trusted friends, commit heinous acts, fight giant scorpions, or even find love in unusual places. But remember, your sole objective is to keep the water flowing. Immerse yourself in the game today and enjoy every step of the ride.
