Unraveling Lady Ironwood’s Deception

This powerful figure has been unnaturally manipulating historical events through time travel. Consolidating immense power and wealth for herself while simultaneously oppressing the working class.
Upon uncovering Lady Ironwood’s method of temporal manipulation, Morgan is thrust into a sprawling adventure that transcends time itself. The core objective? To undo Ironwood’s alterations to history and set things right – but the path to achieving this will be entirely up to the player.
