Aniline City is a fictional city in Michigan, USA. Found near Devils Lake & Lake Eire, it’s surrounded by mountains and has three main highways out, leading to Detroit, Chicago and New York.

Set in a natural crater, clouds roll in from the mountains meaning there is frequent rain and a claustrophobic atmosphere.

The city is gritty, corrupt, dark, and dangerous. But good people live here too.

Aniline City Stories is an interactive fictional world created by JD Kelly.

Inspired by film-noir, gritty detective stories, video games such as Max Payne & Condemned, and films such as Sin City & The Maltese Falcon, JD started to write his own detective story – and Aniline City was born.

As a voice actor, he knew that this style of writing would be suited to an audio play which opened up a whole new idea of what this space could be, and that the world could be something so much bigger than one story.

Opening up the world and collaborating with other creatives means that Aniline City Stories can be a home to multiple stories, art, audio, music and film.
