As already mentioned, Cthulhu Nation is set in the 1920's, and the game calendar works from this period. You may find the world a little strange by today's modern standards - the currency used is the old British £/s/d and weights and measures are from the period. there is a conversion calculator included to help you understand the system. Trams and trains are methods of transport inland, with airports and shipping ports available for world travel. Much of the technology from the period, including weapons and items, are available, and many of the events of the day are included in the game. The game itself includes a whole host of features to keep you busy. part from those mentioned, it also includes libraries to research items, Guilds affiliations to help you develop in the game, research to complete, an auction house to buy or sell various items, a mining system to help you smelt and forge items, a banking system to save your money, an academy to hone those skills and a market to purchase extra supplies (in addition to the in-game shops). On top of this, you have access to a journal which helps with your quests as well as the ability to make your own notes, and a full inventory system to help you sort your items out. If you have too many items and end up being encumbered (you can only carry so much, depending on your strength) why not hire a warehouse instead of just dumping those valuable items on the ground? There are many other elements to the game that you will encounter in your travels as well, but we will leave those for you to discover!
