The Great Depression has fascinated me since my childhood. This economic disaster that struck in the 1930's was the defining event in in the history of the twentieth century America. Forget WWII; that was merely a bump in the road after the hard times of the decade before.
Life was tough. Money, jobs and even food was scarce worldwide and no solution seemed in sight. It was an environment that brought both a Hitler and a Roosevelt to power. One created an atmosphere of fear, the other of hope. While some turned to alcohol and drugs and some turned to Jesus, what got the majority through were movies, the radio, magazines and popular fiction of the time.
The history was fascinating, but it really was the stories created by Eisner, Chandler, Hammett, Steinbeck and a 1000 black and white Hollywood screwball comedies and mystery thrillers that stuck with me. So while based on historical people, events, and locales, Retrowood is a fictional world - though most will recognize the Southern California setting. You have the glamour of the blossoming movie industry contrasted against the stark attempt at survival for most folks: a world of startling, soul crushing poverty contrasted against the sleek cars, slinky clothes and gated mansions.... and everyone wore hats.
In the middle of this mix is J. Parker Wrighte, a young private detective with the Kinchay agency. His quest for upward mobility in this two tiered society is fraught with compromise, and it's taking its toll on our protagonist as he blends back and forth between the two societies.
