Overview

Messy Business is the seventh and final arc of Season One of Bluff City. It was played in the Lacuna system by Jared Sorensen, with additional mechanics regarding character connections and plot development taken from TechNoir by Jeremy Keller.

It used characters previously seen in Bluff City, from the A Bowling Alley, A Boxer, and a Bird (Maggie Darcy, Finnegan Hands, and Achilles Apollo), There Is No Greater Love (Florence Slowly, Christine Andrews, Leslie Strata, Hector Hu), and When Justice Is Done (Gale Green) arcs.

Unlike previous arcs, where episodes were released once per month, Messy Business was released weekly in four parts from Feburary 16th 2019 to March 11th 2019, and concluded the first season of Bluff City.
