Die Reise ins All

A German Steampunk-RPGMaker game (translates to The Journey to Space), set in our world at the end of the 19th century. The game was influenced by the works of Verne, Doyle, and Wells, with a crazy inventor, giant canons to travel to Mars and an invasion from the later.

The player will play partly only with one or two heroes but will collect a group of four people over time. In the end, these are

Leutnant von Mackwitz: a German (Prussian) trooper, not the brightest bulb in the box, but with a lot of national pride and love for big guns.

Professor Heisen: The mad scientist of the story, discovers an ancient power source, that seems to come from Mars and is eager to travel there.

Fräulein Eleonore: A journalist, willingly to fight against the military's attempts to use Heisen's inventions as weapons. Being much smarter than Mackwitz and on the opposite ends of the politic table, they fight a lot at the start of the game.
