Machineborn is a science fiction game set in a world where the concept of what makes people human is flexible. People have the power to transform themselves after their own vision, driven by the prevailing notion that they are flawed by nature. Feeble limbs yield to sleek prosthetics, while costly biotherapies twist their genes into better or stranger forms. Perfection is a price tag away.
This world is far from paradise. It is a dark and cruel place, where the strong oppress the weak, and the masses are mere ants under the heels of titanic empires. To find purpose, people fixate on their own potential, often losing sight of themselves along the way. Humanity is a volatile mix wrapped in a malleable package.
Enter the Machineborn: those who have gone beyond the limits of human possibility. They hold the future in their grasp, often appearing where they are the most needed or where their presence cause the most harm. Will they fight for humanity or meld with the gears? That can only be determined by the story you tell.
In this game, you can assume the role of an ordinary person from one of several transhuman progenies, navigating a future where factions grapple with high tensions after a devastating age of war. Alternatively, step into the shoes of the mighty Machineborn, someone with perks unattainable to the masses, choosing to be either a perceived villain on the run from the powers at be or a hero striving to restore prosperity to a civilization in ruins. The choice is yours, and the world awaits your move!
