🪐 You are entering a fictional zone: reality has been suspended.

Step inside Metropius - a dieselpunk world of conspiracy, corruption, imagination and visual splendour.

In the noir city of Metropius, Detective Goodall follows a bloodstained hat into a web of corruption and power. Beneath the Surface is the first story from the Metropius universe - a stunning noir adventure already penned as Metropius Comics and set to expand into a Mobile Game (2025), Graphic Novel (2026), Table Top Games (2026) and an ever evolving fan-built community on Discord and YouTube.

🎬 Director’s Statement
“I’ve always been drawn to dark, gritty worlds - stories that peel back the shine and show what’s really underneath. Metropius was born from my obsession with film noir and the striking style of dieselpunk.

I wanted to create a world that feels rich, lived-in, and just a little dangerous. It’s a visual feast - but at its heart, it’s about power, control, and those brave (or foolish) enough to fight back.” Dan Macarthur
