A retro-styled RPG, set in a universe hurdled toward machine singularity.

  • Inspired by retro sci-fi, cyberpunk anime, and classic RPGs.

  • Pixel art drawn in the style of SNES / PS1.

  • Character-driven stories ; existentialist themes related to AI, simulations, futurism as a religion, dystopian vs utopian paths for technology, digital identity etc.

  • Navigate the BOUNTY system : A numeric representation of how often robots will seek out the player for combat, based on their specific actions.

  • Inflict machine-specific status effects such as Short-Circuited (electric stun) and VIRUS (confused/berserk behavior) to disadvantage the robot foes!

  • The player can reprogram some robotic enemies to fight alongside the party—or even upgrade them!

Join Selva , a grizzled and Luddite-leaning mercenary, formerly trained to hunt rogue AIs, who is drawn back to the fold amidst increasing social unrest...  

Despite formerly putting her guns away for a life of leisure and solitude, new events have forced her to reconsider her unfolding destiny in a technocratic future.

& Jiro , a boy who lived his entire life inside the Aethar Hives : a largely underground bunker, an AI-governed pseudo-utopia where human life is tightly regulated through immaculate LLMs, VR, utilitarian controls, and emotional suppression in exchange for 'order' and safety. 

Other recruits include Misaki , an elderly wanderer and former herbalist , scouring the toxic surface for untainted seeds, and Aurum , a 'robotic bard' programmed to communicate only through poetry.
