City of Mist is a noir mystery game that takes place in a modern city where legends are real people. Heroes, tricksters, and monsters are reborn inside ordinary people, regular Joes and Janes, who gain supernatural powers connected to their legendary alter-egos. The mystical veil of the Mist hides these miraculous powers from the other, sleepwalking residents of the City. It makes armor look like a flak vest and fire breathing like a cheap party trick or a gas leak explosion, so no-one ever knows about the legendary. Player characters in City of Mist are ordinary people in whom a legend has awakened. You play a unique combination of a real-life persona and a legendary Mythos, from a street-cleaner with the powers of the Monkey King to a fashion tycoon who is the incarnation of Aphrodite. Your life is a game of balance between magic and normality. Together with your ragtag crew of Rifts, you will hit the dark streets to uncover the insidious forces at play in your City and solve various mysteries. This time you'll try to solve a case called V is for Going Viral, a clever reference to both the presence of social media and an actual virus. A new infectious evil is operating in the City, using innocent civilians to spread itself. As more and more university students go missing, can you find the cause and put a stop to it once and for all? 

This game will be great if you like solving mysteries, balancing normality and having powers, PbtA or Fate.
