best cyberpunk game

FUCK this is beautiful. After you close off the prison is there anything else to do?

Glad you liked it! And no, not really - there are some environmental changes, but other than that you just head back down to your abode and leave the city.

Please make more games.

Very cool game! I want to do lefty stuff like this in the future, looking forward to getting inspired by you!

What would recommend in dealing with this subject? I noticed you're not exactly subtle lol

Hey, really glad you liked it! You should definitely try making some lefty gaming stuff! In a really general sense, I guess there are two things I try to focus on for all of my games (with different levels of success). First, I try to make my games accessible to as broad an audience as possible (making the language clear by minimizing lefty jargon, making sure the games will run on lower-end machines). I can't remember the exact quote, but someone wrote that if your art is inaccessible to the working class, then how can it be revolutionary?

The other thing I try to do is put forward positive/optimistic visions of the future. It's really easy to be pessimistic about the future of the planet, but I believe that one of the ways capitalism reproduces itself is by convincing us that no other world is possible. So it's really important for leftists to push back against that and show how a better society is within our grasp.

But yeah, that's some really general thoughts. I'm more than happy to discuss game ideas in more detail or look over drafts, just hit me up at colestia3@gmail.com

Best of luck with the game design!

If you have a discord even for your patrons i'll be happy to give a few bucks and join so we can talk!

Played it straight through on Linux, no issues.  Great game, thanks,

fantastic stuff. i thought the way you laid out contradictions within capitalism thru tarot ("the futures capitalism has closed off") was elegant. the tarot art was elegant. the graphical art was elegant. the way the city moved felt organic. the way you couldnt do everything alone. and it made me hopeful again.
a v good gift

This is a wonderful game. I'm going through a bit of a rough spot right now, partly due to despair over the future of society and how unfair and brutal it is. Although this game can't portray a  way forward in all of its confusing complexity, it at least gave me a few nudges as to a future I can imagine that doesn't just lead to something awful.

It's a really deep yet adorable game with a great moral! I loved doing a play through of this and it really helps in passing time well :)

Here's a full gameplay~

Thanks for doing a playthrough! Giving it a watch now.

Linux bug / player failing to twig clues

In late game, a solitary paper boat repeatedly guides me to the homeless mage's sign and seat, but I can interact with neither. He's not there, but elsewhere, with a paper plane above his head and dialogue about Croatan station, but I can't work out what to do with this information.

As you mention the Linux build is untested, I thought I'd raise it, although it's more likely that I just need to scour the city for a missed unlocked door or ungrown tree.

The game is wonderful, by the way. Thank you.

This stumped me as well, and I believe the answer is above the window there's a pink paper plane floating around a small light (maybe it's a hex symbol? unclear). I solved by hitting 'e' on the pink plane, changing it's color to grey. I'm not sure why that worked, or if that's actually the cause and effect that was meant to happen, but it did let me progress so I'll take it. :)

Thank you, I'll try that next play-through!

Hi there, really glad you liked the game! AFriendlyAvocado is right (assuming something else didn't glitch out along the way...). You trigger the final third of the game by reading the single news story / paperplane left at the spot where the homeless mage started.

Just for a bit of context, that trigger went through a bunch of redesigns because I really struggled to make it unobtrusive but also relatively obvious - I'll definitely do another revision for the next build. Thanks a lot for getting touch, and again I'm really glad you liked the game!

It looks like it was a bug - planes beyond the first didn't appear and prayer boats didn't disappear as quests were completed. But! I replayed, and didn't experience the same problem! On my second playthrough, the new planes were really obvious (although I was looking out for them, after all the advice I've had here.)

In case it helps with troubleshooting, the homeless mage was the first person I spoke to in the buggy playthrough, but after speaking to him, I went off and helped a couple of other people before finding out how to squatbreak and opening the building. This might (??!?) have prompted some kind of flag setting error (maybe?! guessing!), as his box and sign didn't disappear, his room didn't get signposted as Heresy Press as time went on, and so on.

Ah okay - sorry about that! Thanks a lot for all the detail about how it happened. I'll do my best to track down the bug and fix it!

I'm having a similar problem, the first plane didn't trigger until I got reeeeeally close to it (I spent ages wondering why I couldn't move on and came back to the page to see if anyone had an answer - which is the only reason I tried to get really close to the plane, because i'd already tried to itneract with it heaps of times but I was clearly too far away) and after that nothing seems to be appearing or reacting.  I'll have another go sometime (I don't really feel like replaying through it all again right now) and hopefully it was just a one-off bug, but it definitely happened to me too!

Hey Erin! Really sorry about the bug - thanks for giving all the detail. I'm finally getting around to these updates now, so I hopefully should be able to track down the problem!
