Caught in the crossfire of warring cults in the midst of an undead apocalypse, a community of survivors perseveres through the power of music!
Welcome to Island City, a bustling metropolis thats fallen prey to feeders, undead hordes who feast on the living. Government and its military have been wiped out leaving survivors to fend for themselves. The Children of Arms carve out their territory, mowing down the living and undead alike. The Purified seek to rid the world of feeders and humanity itself through fire. The Marauders wreak havoc, taking what they want and partying ?til the end of it all. And the Quartier is one of too few fortified communities forced to endure the chaos. But this microcosm is exhausted, depressed, overwhelmingly on the brink of collapse. Its survivors could use a distraction.
You are The Distractor, the Pied Piper of the Undead, and the master of the Distraction Machine, a musical device cobbled together with bike parts & found objects that seems to control feeders. It also has the power to soothe, embolden or manipulate the living. The power and mystery of this machine can only be wielded by You.
Will your music save your people or lead them to ruin?
There are two major ways to play Distraction Machine ? the story-driven Chronicle Mode and the open ended Conductor Mode for you to explore.
The apocalypse has destroyed the Old World. Survivors cling to hope, scavenging for supplies, and reclaiming territories full of resources. Each group survives in their own way resulting in turf wars with casualties swelling the feeders fetid ranks. Caught in the crossfire of warring cults, a community of survivors perseveres through the power of music. In Chronicle Mode, your choices and the music you create have the power to change people, their relationships to each other and how the community as a whole functions for better? or for worse.
