In the city of Aurelion, reality is a machine and death is only a misalignment.
Each time Iris Vale awakens, she's reborn one layer to the left of existence: a fractured world where memories vanish, choices rewrite themselves, and the colossal Veil Engine grinds endlessly in the twilight sky. She remembers only fragments, a gunshot, a name lost, and a promise that something beneath the gears still breathes.
With Rook Calder, a disgraced air-navigator haunted by what he failed to save, and Chaplain Morrow, a necromechanic who believes faith can live inside a gear, Iris hunts the truth behind the Engine and the cult that feeds it, the Carbon Crown, zealots who turn the ashes of the dead into fuel for a perfect world.
But the deeper she ventures through Aurelion's layered realities, the more she learns the terrible cost of resurrection: every return erases a name, someone she once loved. To end the cycle, she must find Orloj, the mythical first draft of the city, a place where all lost choices still exist, and confront the one decision that broke reality itself.
Darkly atmospheric, emotionally charged, and hauntingly cinematic, Gears of the Veil is a steampunk resurrection epic, a tale of memory, machinery, and the price of coming back.
