The professed altruistic corporation Supercontinent Ltd is on the verge of releasing Social Psyche Welfare: a system that will eliminate depression, anger and fear from society. However, the bartender of a clandestine club and a freelance hacker doesn't regard this evolution as an improvement but as brainwashing. Alongside unwitting company employees and a rogue empathy android, the duo will pull all the strings they can to bring down this scheme.

Short, but moving

The game is pretty short, but well-made. The art is pretty enough for pixel art, the music works well, pretty much every character has some depth - no cardboard villains or sidekicks here, the story is interesting enough to keep me engaged for the duration of the game. The themes are more or less standard cyberpunk fare, the discussions of them in the game what you might expect over a drink - and the game has a habit of second guessing every moral judgement you make, which is nice, I think. The ending made me cry when it arrived, even though it is spoiled in the opening sequence. Not earth-shattering by any measure, but a pretty and moving thing. The only complaint is maybe that it could be more replay-friendly (e.g. it would be easier to see all the branches if we could navigate the flowchart, or skip minigames during replay).

One of the best Games I've ever played!

The Game is really Great and i can't recommend this Game enough! Even it is an Indie Game and maybe you don't like the Graphics please give it a shot! The Story is very well written, you can make decissions to see how the Game will go and every decission has consequences! I even think, that we as Persons and Society can learn something from it (If you play through the Game you know what i mean!). I never expect that this Game wouild be so good but hey it is one of the GotY Canidates for me personally this Year!

Good Cyberpunk Fix

I just finished this and thought it was good enough to come back here and drop a few lines. I would sum it up as a short, very cool (if somewhat gloom) game that's well executed and has a great cyberpunk setting. + great art, both music and graphics + the multi character approach isn't new in adventures but it's implemented well and comes with different core game mechanics. + decent writing and characters + no technical issues encountered (should be status quo, but you know it isn't, so I think it's worth noting) - if you look for puzzles first and foremost, keep looking. this has more of a vn vibe - has a few obvious SJW moments. They didn't strike me as clumsily implemented as the "overall most helpful review" outlines, but I guess it also depends on how sensitive you are in regard to this. - choices matter but only on a smaller scale. overall this is pretty linear.
