‘NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy’ releases its gameplay

 

NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy has released 10 minutes of exclusive gameplay for the first time. Part Your Grace, part Reigns, part Astrologaster, the original mix of genres, combined with gorgeous art, decision making and story-driven gameplay, places the game in a unique position to challenge the morality of players.

Set to launch on Steam, Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, Android and iOS in the New Year, you control an AI charged with managing a cyberpunk called Catena. Players will need to make quick-fire decisions that impact the future and the prosperity of its citizens, with every choice and decision they take having a lasting effect on those they meet and the city’s status.

The 10-minute trailer showcases just a slice of NeuroNet’s choice-driven gameplay; content players may not even encounter if their previous decisions haven’t pushed the narrative in this unique direction.

In the footage, the AI is working with a new branch of the CPA (Corporate Police Agency), headed up by Thompson, a lead Detective. Together they’re on the hunt for a human trafficker: Mueller. Previously sceptical of the AI’s value, actions and decisions taken up to this point have proven to be a valuable resource in piecing together Thompson’s cold cases. The CPA until recently didn’t have enough evidence to bring him in, until now.

Faced with moral dilemmas as the story unfolds, this fully voice-acted adventure sees the choices you make directly change not only the direction the story takes, but also its eventual outcome.

Featuring dozens of unique characters, thousands of story events, multiple endings and a branching narrative, players are invited to answer one question: how will you save a city losing its humanity to technology?

NeuroNet can be wishlisted now on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with the iOS, Android and Nintendo store links going live soon.
