Café de Nuit

I've a EtcR campaign running for 20 sessions now and we've played through the first chapter of the adventure (Yes my players are very slow and yes our sessions are quite short)

I've managed to obtain the RVL Campaign Setting and Gazetteer 1 and incorporated the 'canon' information' into the ...

I certainly agree that the mystery around it all adds to the fun. The thing I am looking for though is how you as DM's translate this mystery and distanced feeling to game terms. Perhaps not even in exact penalties etc. but ways how to let this emptyness manifest itself among the players.
