The Story:

It is 1896 and Victorian London is in the throes of unparalleled industrial progress and an ever-worsening class divide. Both fuel the Olbright Cotton Mill, where more children than adults toil away in the shadow of a steam-powered beast known as the Red Lord. Meanwhile, the workers have begun to report what they describe as a ghost — swooping out of the shadows to cause all kinds of havoc. When two men — one, the Olbright’s owner — fall to their deaths into the mouth of the Red Lord, the Mill descends into chaos.

Is this the doing of a vengeful spirit, a corrupt and dangerous system — or something far more sinister? By investigating every nook and cranny of the Mill, every crook and nanny in the Waterloo district, it is up to you to uncover the truth, and solve the mystery of The Ghost in the Machine!
