Welcome to London, 1888, a city split into two extreme realities based on wealth, geography, and air quality. The state and global elite legally classify the poor as "Pests," treating them like sewer rats. Shopkeepers lock their doors to them, and the Bobbies use truncheons to clear them off the streets without cause. Conversely, the rich possess absolute legal immunity; ruining a poor person’s life is treated as standard civic upkeep. Driven by historical Social Darwinism and eugenics, the upper classes view poverty as a hereditary disease and weaponize pseudo-scientific racism to justify treating poor citizens, Irish laborers, Jewish refugees, and non-white global travelers as biologically inferior degenerates.
