At First Sight is a role-playing game where most of the action takes place in The Breach, a city founded after a magical cataclysm known as The War. The city is dominated by five great mages whose towers rise around a massive rift of darkness created by the power of The Prophet, who is said to hold the fate of the city in his hands. The strange and esoteric city we live in is divided into five districts, each hosting one of the towers where the great mages reside, and which give their names to the schools of magic that shape its inhabitants.
Description
The city is in decline, magic is spiraling out of control, bringing plagues and magical monstrosities. The five great mages haven’t been seen for a long time, and people are starting to take the law into their own hands, fighting for control of the city’s various zones. For this reason, many mages are beginning to form small gangs in their hideouts, competing for power and respect while dealing with plagues and monstrosities.
The goal of most of these gangs is to find The Prophet, as whoever discovers him will decide the city's fate. All this while avoiding The Affliction of The Breach, a "disease" caused by prolonged exposure to the massive rift dividing the city. This affliction generates strange memories in the protagonists, driving them mad or robbing them of control over their magic, turning them into new monstrosities wandering the city's streets.
At First Sight is a highly narrative game with intense, exaggerated action, where players manage one of these mage gangs struggling to survive in this cursed city known as The Breach.
