Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America.

London, 2023. Amongst the regular people living in the capital, there are also denizens of the dark — creatures of myth and legend that have embedded themselves in society. Vampires, werewolves, demons — they’re part of the population now (and more often than not are the victims of prejudice and discrimination). They also have their own particular diets, which is where Devouroo comes in…
