The Ether Breakers

A Mission Through Shattered Trenches and Tesla-powered Madness

In this Dieselpunk thriller, the front lines of World War I twist into something darker—something unrecognizable. Amid shattered trenches and whispering machines, Lieutenant Conor Doyle leads a signal team into the wreckage of Messines Ridge, where the enemy isn’t always visible and the weapons don’t behave like they used to.

What began as routine communications work descends into chaos as Doyle’s unit is ordered to field-test a volatile prototype: the Arcbolt Mk II B. Nicknamed the “Ether Lance,” the device crackles with invisible potential—and horrifying consequences. Every transmission risks unleashing something unnatural. Every silence hides what should not move.
As trenches collapse and orders blur, Doyle must navigate a war warped by strange currents and buried guilt. The enemy is real, but so are the voices in the static. Is he following command, or being pulled somewhere deeper?

The storm is gathering—step into the shadows now.
