Story

"The tiny asteroid Scrapland lies in a debris field thousands of miles wide. Centuries of destructive exploitation by a long-gone race have transformed what was once a paradise into a world inhabited only by machines. These machines, robots of all shapes and sizes, converted Scrapland into an impressive metropolis of glittering grandeur. As the robots rebuilt the world, they also created a new class of citizens: police officers, bankers, priests, and civil servants. This fledgling society was dramatically changed by the discovery of a device called "The Great Database." With it, the robots could revive any expired or malfunctioning automaton. Death became a thing of the past. Against this backdrop, you'll experience the story of an outsider named D-Tritus who arrives in Scrapland amidst a series of bizarre murders. D-Tritus gets a job investigating the murders, and eventually gets caught up in a web of conspiracies from which only his quick wits and the help of his friends can save him."
