--- Underlings: The Spark Engine Synopsis ---
Barely surviving in the machine-powered subterranean city of Lode, lone underling Evin discovers a skeletal hand clutching a cryptic note.
‍
Driven to unlock Lode’s secrets, Evin and her mech-dog Jet face danger at every turn: unscrupulous bullies, brutish guards and the deadly fumes of the dragonsbreath.
‍
But to reveal the truth, Evin must trust new friendships, battle her way upwards and confront the city’s deceptive leader, Cardinal Mavka, before the world she knows comes crashing down.
