Guns can solely get you to date in cyberpunk. To thwart a megacorp in newly-announced journey sport The Red Strings Club, a little bit extra subtlety might be required. It’ll have us enjoying as a bartender mixing drinks to control feelings and squeeze info from folks, as a hacker armed with a cellphone utilizing social engineering to bypass safety, and even sculpting genetic implants to whack into executives and alter their personalities. Intriguing! It’s coming in January from Deconstructeam, the makers of Gods Will Be Watching, and revealed by Devolver Digital.
Devolver clarify the premise:
“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 don’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.”
You may recognise bits of this from video games Deconstructeam made in sport jams, the phish ’em up Supercontinent Ltd and cyborg pottery sport Zen and the Art of Transhumanism. You can nonetheless play these totally free when you’re interested by among the constructing blocks. Gods Will Be Watching began life as a jam sport too, in fact.
While I do know Brendy preferred Zen and I fairly preferred Supercontinent myself, I do marvel how all these bits will come collectively. I’m to see.
And when you’re considering “Hang on, what was… wasn’t there another cyberpunk bartending game?” yup, it’s VA-11 HALL-A.
