🍂 FAR FROM TOMORROW

Millbrook • Massachusetts Bay Colony • 1692

You don't belong here. Not yet.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌲 One moment, you're in the modern world.

The next?

No roads. No electricity. No phone signal. No explanation.

Just endless New England forest...

...and a dog sniffing you.

🐕 Bram has found something.

Unfortunately, that something is you.

His companion, Mercy Black, an enslaved young woman from nearby Millbrook, is considerably less enthusiastic about discovering a strangely dressed stranger who apparently fell out of nowhere.

Then a man's voice calls from the nearby house.

“Mercy!”

And your new life begins.

🏘️ WELCOME TO MILLBROOK

A small Puritan settlement in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

It isn't a history museum.

It's home to people who don't know they're history yet.

🪵 Farms need tending.

🍺 The ordinary is full of gossip.

⚙️ The mill never seems to stop.

⛪ Sunday means meeting.

💰 Work means survival.

❤️ People flirt, marry, fight, laugh, lie, drink, pray and hold grudges.

And somewhere beneath ordinary village life...

🔥 fear is beginning to spread

It is 1692, after all.

🕯️ MEET MILLBROOK

🖤 Mercy Black — Observant. Guarded. Wickedly dry.

The first person to find you—and perhaps the first person you'll learn to trust.

🐾 Bram — Good Boy • Stick Expert • Investigator

Technically Nathaniel's dog. Bram disputes the relevant paperwork.

🏡 Nathaniel Ward — Landholder • Provider • Reluctant Problem Collector

Respectable, practical, and currently wondering why Mercy has apparently acquired a stranger.

📖 Rev. Josiah Pembroke — Minister • Counselor • True Believer

A good man with an uncomfortable certainty:

Witchcraft is real.

🕊️ Abigail Pembroke — Minister's Wife • Listener • Quiet Voice of Reason

She hears what people say—and notices why they're saying it.

🌾 Temperance “Tempe” Hale — Miller's Daughter • Gossip Enthusiast • Trouble

Nineteen, curious, mischievous, and perhaps a little too interested in Millbrook's newest stranger.

⚖️ Elias Mercer — Magistrate • Skeptic • Very Difficult Man to Bullshit

Josiah asks what something means.

Elias asks what actually happened.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🕯️ THIS IS YOUR STORY

There is no predetermined path.

Build a life.

Find work.

Make friends.

Fall in love.

Make enemies.

Explore the colony.

Tell everyone you're from the future.

That should go wonderfully.

Or simply try to survive long enough to see tomorrow.

Because Millbrook is still a community of ordinary people...

...but ordinary people can become frightened.

And frightened people can become dangerous.

⏳ DISPLACED: FAR FROM TOMORROW

Different Times. Greater Adventures.

Welcome to 1692.

🐕 Bram already likes you.

Everyone else is going to need convincing.
