f you're into dieselpunk, retro-futurism, or just damn good storytelling, you need to check out Metropius.
Set in a richly imagined 19th-century-inspired city powered by a volatile substance called Rose Diesel, Metropius is a handcrafted, hand-animated world that blends noir mystery, dystopian intrigue, and stunning design. Think Blade Runner meets Bioshock, with a touch of Miyazaki-level care in the worldbuilding.
The 20-minute animated short just dropped on the official Metropius YouTube channel - and it's already starting to take off with fans around the world. It’s moody, mysterious, and full of details that reward a second (or third) watch. If you're into comics, animation, or immersive worldbuilding, this is for you.
