Forehead Chip is a sci-fi cyberpunk pixel-art   platformer set in the middle of Arca City, a fracturing utopia. You’ve joined the Implant Corps to restore order by capturing vile Holdouts. Capture the most and you win!

It’s all about maintaining order. And it’s your job to capture Holdouts. So you need to know the drill:

• Manage your supply of implant bullets in tactical combat

• Don’t destroy your enemies - capture them

• Wield a variety of distinctively controlled weapons

• Fuse your ammo by injecting logic capsules that affect their behaviour

• Don’t forget to ask your Sergeant and Commander for tips

Play as young Chip , a recruit in the Implant Corps. Prove your worth to your friends and family by winning the coveted, one-of-a-kind implant: the Forehead Chip. Explore city locations, interact with characters across the societal divide, and pick your choices to determine the future of Arca City. Conquer and dominate... or is there another path? There are multiple endings to unlock and the Forehead Chip is up for grabs. Will you get it, or will someone else?

Use skills, tactics, and trigger-conscious precision against enemies and obstacles:

• Tight, tuned, responsive controls

• 50+ types of enemies to fight and capture

• Four different districts to dropship into

• Unlock new abilities and game modes

Forehead Chip offers multiple gameplay modes:

• Single-player Campaign with various paths and endings
