WELCOME TO ACADIA, A SPRAWLING METROPOLIS OF TOWERING SKYSCRAPERS, NEON-LIT STREETS, AND A RELENTLESS PULSE OF TECHNOLOGY. SET IN THE YEAR 2091, ACADIA IS A CITY WHERE THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN HUMANITY AND MACHINERY BLUR, WHERE CYBERNETIC ENHANCEMENTS AND VIRTUAL REALITIES HAVE BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE. THE WORLD OF ACADIA PULSATES WITH A CYBERPUNK AESTHETIC, WHERE DAZZLING NEON SIGNS REFLECT OFF GLEAMING CYBERNETIC LIMBS, AND THE CONSTANT HUM OF TECHNOLOGY FILLS THE AIR. VIRTUAL REALITY ARCADES OFFER IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES BEYOND IMAGINATION, WHILE CORPORATE MEGACORPS WIELD IMMENSE INFLUENCE, SHAPING THE LIVES OF THE CITY'S INHABITANTS. PREPARE TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A WORLD WHERE CYBERNETICS, TECHNOLOGY, AND INTRIGUE CONVERGE. WELCOME TO ACADIA, WHERE THE FUTURE IS HERE, AND YOUR ADVENTURE AWAITS.

IN ACADIA, TECHNOLOGY REIGNS SUPREME. CYBERNETIC ENHANCEMENTS ARE COMMONPLACE, SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED INTO THE VERY FABRIC OF SOCIETY. AUGMENTED EYES PROVIDE ENHANCED VISION, NEURAL IMPLANTS AUGMENT COGNITION, AND ARTIFICIAL LIMBS GRANT SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH. BUT WITH THESE ADVANCEMENTS COME QUESTIONS OF IDENTITY, ETHICS, AND POWER. WHAT DOES IT TRULY MEAN TO BE HUMAN IN A CITY WHERE THE LINE BETWEEN FLESH AND MACHINE BECOMES INCREASINGLY BLURRED? ACADIA STORIES VOLUME 1 FOLLOWS THE LIVES OF SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS AS THEY NAVIGATE LIVING IN ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES ON EARTH. THEIR STORIES WILL GIVE UNDERSTANDING AND DREAD.

WITH THE WORLD FINALLY UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF ORBS, THE OEC HAVE A NEW THREAT. IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO 2051 A NEW ORB BEGAN SPAWNING ACROSS THE WORLD. ABLE TO GIVE USERS THE ABILITY TO TIME TRAVEL, IT WAS CONSIDERED THE MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL THE ORBS FOUND SO FAR. RISING TO THE THREAT, THE OEC COMMISIONED THE "TEMPORAL AGENTS". WITH THEIR SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY, THEY RACE ACROSS TIME TO SAVE HUMANITY FROM CERTAIN DESTRUCTION.
