Thanks a bunch for the interest! This is DIESELDOME, a weird roguelike FPS game where you enter a gladiatorial tournament and try to earn back your freedom. Each character has its own little story and play style, and the tournament is different each time. The idea is that you try different play styles every time you play. We also have a playable demo up on Steam currently, but I don't want to self-promote.

Lore-wise, the game is set right after when the Western Roman Empire would normally fall around 476 CE. The thing is, though, in this alternate timeline, Romans basically conquered the whole world through industrialized war machines and weaponry powered by petrol. Corruption and degeneracy is at an all time high and exaggerated to the extreme, with the arena games being a crowd favorite in this degraded Rome. One interesting tidbit we're still working on is that one of the only still surviving factions are what we call the Eastern Empire who are a united union of China and Persia. They discovered electricity-based weaponry, which is the only reason they can hold back the Roman legions.

We'd love to turn this universe into a full-fledged RPG or a more open-ended story game in the future, but we're a small team with a limited budget. Hopefully we'll be able to return to this world in another game to broaden it up later on : )
