Setting

The setting of Neon Delirium, can be summed up by each of these three interrogative words: Who, When, and Where.

Who?
You player, start out as a lowly slumgoer out in the world, seeking what many others are after. Are you doing this for freedom from the corporations you didn't realize you sold your soul to? Are you doing it for the adventure in the city, finding all of its hidden secrets? Are you in it for the money and to become the next big head of a corporation? Are you just trying to survive and hopefully find some people to help you along the way? You choose!

Where?
You start your journey in Lithium City Smack in the middle of the "Mid West Free Zone". This area covers the old-world region that holds Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois. The area around it was terrorized by the natural disaster that opened up the sinkhole it sits in. Formally known as the Elverta Valley, It was given its nickname for the lithium mines that the city was initially had been based around. Now depleted, people say it's because of lithium's medicinal use to help with the onset depression of living in this dreary place...

When?
