It is the 19th century and we are in the mythical north of Europe. The few cities are beacons of industry, but between them stretches a primeval world. In dark forests and lonely mountains, by black lakes and hidden groves, in the shadows and on your doorstep, something lurks at the edge of your vision and a cold shiver runs down your spine. They are watching. They wait. Unseen by most, but you can see them: Vaesen.

Long before the rise of mankind, the Great Old Ones ruled the earth. Traces of their cyclopean cities can still be found on remote islands, buried in the desert sands and beneath the Arctic Circle.

In the 1960s, the evil secret organization “The Octopus”, led by Count von Zadrith, emerges from the shadows to tip the balance between the Eastern Bloc and the Western Allies and reshape the world.
Troubleshooters takes you to various locations across the globe. From magnificent metropolises to sleepy villages and even the deepest wilderness. You will not only experience adventures, but also face fearsome enemies. That’s why only one thing is important: stick together!
Do you dream of spending your life in the magnificent forests of the north, attending the meeting of the great illusion mages or simply immersing yourself in the great market of the city of Teromberg? Perhaps you are also from Sol Thu’ma, want to cross the galaxy in a spaceship or spend your twilight years on a pleasure planet?
Then I have some bad news for you. That’s not going to happen. Because you have been chosen to be the defender of your home world. That is your destiny.
That probably sounds better than it is. Very few of the inhabitants of your sphere know what you really do. You’re not celebrated as a hero, you don’t get a medal, but you have a good chance of dying an early death.
This is not a job that you can simply quit. Your task is immensely important. If you fail, it’s not just you and maybe your friends who die, but the whole sphere. On Valcreon that might be one planet, but on Sol Thu’ma your failure would lead to the extinction of an entire galaxy. Thousands of planets, billions of lives.
The Lukean Empire has regained its former strength. Monitored by MOTHER, the omniscient and omnipresent artificial intelligence, the population indulge in a carefree life. All those who play by the rules are in MOTHER’s favor. This is ensured by the implanted credit identification nano-data memory – KIND for short.
Anyone who does not have it does not exist in the ever-watchful eyes of the AI and for all other KINDers. They must therefore eke out their existence cautiously and outside the law and are considered to be a sitting duck.
The hunger of the megacorporations forces the empire to expand faster, which means that more and more KINDer fall by the wayside and end up in slums or underserved colonies. Resentment is spreading there and a resistance is forming. This threatens to erupt forgotten conflicts, but it also creates new opportunities for those who no longer have much to lose.
