Same!

Wasn't this announced a long time ago? I've had a game like that on my whishlist for ages.

Edit: yeah, it's this one. Announced in 2022. Glad to see it's not dead!


The numbers don't decide, the system is a lie. The river running dry, the wings of butterflies.
And you may pour us away like soup. Like we're pretty broken flowers.
We'll take back what is ours. One day at a time.

This last trailer showed nothing new.

But at least the launch is near.

people with 5080s and 5090s complaining about performance.

Besides that: the game seems pretty boring to me.It's like a simulator game but with better gfx and style.

runs great here, 5070 ti. Haven't noticed anything bad with performance. its around 88-90 FPS average.
edit: actually i have now seen it dip to 55 FPS once, but that's the lowest i have seen, that was with a very big portion of the city in view.

reminds me of shadows of doubt.

the game is gorgeous, but i do wish that the characters were the same style as the rest of the game, they kind of stick out..

The "vangelis" music is great Smile

They tried pixelated characters but... things didn't went very smooth.

Very cool atmosphere but with 45% GPU usage the framerate drops to 50-55 in heavy / crowded areas.

CPU bound, looks like...

Some patches will prob. help.

It DOES have a "Blade Runner" vibe, though.

And this is VERY hard to reproduce.

So... 👏 to devs.

yeah, looks amazing.

i think it might be to game:y for me, was hoping for more Immersive Sim qualities. shadows of doubt is more my style.

It looks fun enough I'm interested in the sim side.

But I don't get the theme and setting vs teh gameplay. Friendly cyberpunk? Isn't that not...cyberpunk then?
Cyberpunk's core formula is "high tech, low life": advanced technology alongside social decay, extreme inequality, corporate power replacing or overshadowing governments, urban sprawl, etc.

It's mohawks and synthwave colors, and avoiding security systems during curfew as the only cyberpunk thing about it.

I don't think slapping dark metal covered in neon colors and mohawks on people means its cyberpunk. A genre defined by alienation, precarity, and bodies/identity reshaped by tech doesn't naturally pair with that loop. But maybe I being too judgmental on a farming/restaurant sim.

its just cyberpunk aesthetics, you are not an actual cyberpunk, but you are not in Deux Ex either.

yes, kind of why i think i am skipping it. it does have that WOW factor when you start it though, the graphics, it just feels immersive to move in overall. but then you see the characters at to me that takes away quite a bit of its otherwise cool aesthetics.

someone could do this as a mod for CP Razz
