Lord of the Mysteries
The story
A man wakes in someone else's body, in a fog-bound city of steam, cannons and gaslight, where potions, divination and sealed artefacts are real and dangerous. There is a notebook, a ritual and a question about what happened to the person whose life he has stepped into. Answering it draws him towards people who deal in the supernatural, and towards rules that punish carelessness.
