Produktbeschreibung

In the heart of the industrial city of Gearford, the Cranksworth Foundry stands as a towering relic of innovation and industry. Once a symbol of progress, the foundry now groans under the weight of neglect and secrecy. Machines malfunction without cause, tools vanish into thin air, and the workers whisper of a ghost haunting the mechanical depths.

Rosie Copperthistle, a skilled mechanic with a sharp mind and a stubborn streak, dismisses these rumors as nonsenseuntil strange accidents threaten to shut the foundry down for good. Determined to uncover the truth and protect the workers who depend on the factory, Rosie teams up with Jules Sparkwright, a brilliant yet reckless inventor, and Theo Gearsby, a skeptical engineer with a knack for problem-solving.

Their investigation leads them deep into the labyrinth of gears and steam, where they encounter the impossible: the ghost of Phillip Cranksworth, the foundry's long-lost founder. Betrayed and silenced by his corrupt partner, Magnus Blackstone, Pip Cranksworth lingers as a spectral presence, desperate to reclaim his legacy and expose the dark secrets buried within the foundry walls.

But Blackstone's grip on the foundry is stronger than anyone realized. He has turned Pip's once-great inventions into weapons of control, and his automatons prowl the factory floors, enforcing his rule. The trio must navigate deadly machines, unravel a web of deceit, and unlock hidden vaults containing the truth about Blackstone's treachery.

As Rosie and her friends piece together the mystery, they realize the ghost isn't the only danger lurking in the shadows. The machinery is awakening, driven by forces beyond steel and steam. Time is running out, and the foundry teeters on the brink of collapse.

To save the workers and free the foundry from Blackstone's tyranny, Rosie must decide whether to trust a ghost and risk everything to ignite a rebellion. But victory comes at a price, and some machines were never meant to be awakened.

The Ghost in the Machine is a thrilling steampunk fantasy filled with haunting secrets, mechanical marvels, and the fight for justice in a world where innovation can either build empiresor destroy them.
