Overview

Crestwood. A misty and damp city on the shores of Lake Huron, where the boundary between the living and the dead is at its weakest. The land pulses with a strange energy that acts like a dark beacon, attracting both social outcasts and supernaturals. In this world, vampires, witches, werewolves and other supernatural creatures live alongside humans, hiding in plain sight. They might be your next-door neighbor, or that sweet old lady who runs a flower shop Downtown, maybe even the city's fire chief - content with living regular lives, blending in with the rest of society... But there are those who would rather control, using their powers to manipulate while they lurk in the city's shadows.

Everyone is haunted by something or someone. I think it's just part of the human condition.

World
Crestwood, Michigan, the city that even the sun has abandoned, made famous for its rainfall, misty streets, rampant crime, and tales of things that go bump in the night. Located on the shores of Lake Huron, it has a population of roughly three hundred thousand and is considered to be one of the oldest cities in the Midwest. The city is isolated – four hours away from the nearest town, accessible only by a lone stretch of highway that cuts through the Black Raven Forest, a dense and dark woodland many locals believe is haunted, where unexplained sightings and disappearances happen regularly.

Shaped like a crescent moon, Crestwood is divided into four districts: Oldtown, Midtown, Downtown, and Bayfront, with the Nibiwan River flowing through all of them, connecting the Black Raven Forest to the lake. Despite the high crime rate and rumors, the isolation combined with its affordable living, draws in a diverse population. Some are looking for a place to belong... while others simply disappear into the mist.

The four districts are:

Oldtown: What was once original Crestwood; here, the old foundations of the 1900s are still visible today, taking the form of cobblestone streets and turn-of-the-century brick buildings – now transformed into cheap apartment complexes.

Midtown: The artsy district, full of family-owned businesses, coffee shops and bookstores. This area keeps the same cobblestone streets of Oldtown, but here they are usually teeming with students attending Crestwood University.

Downtown: Downtown is the beating economic heart of the city. Here, the brick and cobblestone architecture is replaced with modern skyscrapers and subway rails, where white-collar crime and corporate greed go hand-in-hand.

Bayfront: Home to Crestwood's upper class. Bayfront is known for its luxury condos, gated communities, fine dining, and a boardwalk where you can appreciate a scenic view of Lake Huron. Crime is rare here compared to other parts of the city.
