Jump Over the Age, Fellow Traveller

About This Game
Experience a narrative RPG from a completely new perspective. Go behind the eyes of your hosts and change their fate, one pivotal day at a time.
The Signet City is in crisis, its citizens trapped in a vortex of ecological collapse, governmental overreach and strange, rampant technologies. Witness their struggle as both tensions and waters rise.
Inspired by the turbulent 1980’s of the UK and the iconic industrial cities of the North, Signet City is a post-punk fever dream unlike anything you have seen before.
Handcrafted by developer Jump Over the Age, and drawing on black and white documentary photography, screentoned manga, and pen and ink drawings, this city pulses with monochrome beauty.
KEY FEATURES
A first-person narrative RPG, where you play as both a parasite and its hosts, choosing their paths and actions in a strange and changing world.
Explore a weird city through expanding hubs that grow as you do, from the ragged outskirts to its bustling center.
Guide your hosts, meeting their friends and rivals, managing their resources, and upgrading their skills and abilities.
Roll dice in a unique tabletop-inspired RPG system, where your host’s emotions affect their chances of success.
