The Iron Divergence

The Blitz of September 15, 1940, altered the timeline of human conflict forever. Saved from mortal trauma by an experimental, graft-fused steel heart, you became a walking counterfactual in an alternate history where clockwork engines and brass conduits drive the frontlines. Now, on December 5, 1941, you trek through the frozen mud and blizzard winds outside Moscow. Somewhere ahead in the icy trenches lies Dr. Erich Vogl, the enemy engineer whose forbidden schematics gave you life, and who alone holds the key to dismantling the graft before the machinery consumes what remains of your flesh. In a world bent by divergent technology and savage winter conflict, you must navigate hostile skirmishes, uneasy alliances, and the relentless grinding of your own iron core. Will you reclaim your natural heart, or lose your humanity entirely to the forge of war?
