Nantucket in 2080

The Isle of Nantucket


30 miles off the coast of New England lies the Island of Nantucket. Sparsely populated by the standards of 2080, the isle has about 20,000 inhabitants. Seeming somewhat like a place frozen in time, the character of the Island can seem quite old-fashioned compared to most metropolitan areas.

In recent years the Island’s weather has turned drearier, dampening the tourism industry and frequently blanketing the isle in a dense and mysterious fog that meteorologists are unable to fully explain. Likewise, there have been increased reports of unexplained happenings and supposed sightings of paranormal creatures that are unheard of elsewhere.


Dunwich Gardens

Dunwich Gardens is an expansive underground apartment complex and shopping mall connected to the never-completed Dunwich Tunnel. The complex houses over 5000 residents and has a large public park, which features broad, open environments creating an almost airy feel. It’s kept secure by a dedicated force of private security guards, the very same competent and professional Dunwich Security personnel that patrol other Dunwich properties on the island.


Dunwich Tunnel

Never completed despite its massive expense, the Dunwich tunnel was proposed to connect the Isle of Nantucket to the Boston and to Martha’s Vineyard. Now sealed-off, the tunnels, still full of digging equipment, reach deep into the seafloor. Rumor has it that Atticus Dunwich has somehow never given up on the project, though the permits and plans to connect the tunnels to Boston have long since expired.
