Take on the role of Noa Solares: An up-and-coming vigilante hacker from Bright Town. When the overreaching mega-corporation Monomind, kidnaps Abner, her estranged father, Noa has no choice but to get him back, before it’s too late. Why is Abner researching digitized consciousness? And what does Monomind want to do with it?
Noa won’t be alone on her journey. She’ll be helped out by her best friend and tactical planner, Ryder, as well as her Martini drinking uncle and ex-corporate spy, Guin Blakely.
Battle Noa’s foes in the unique single-party-member turn-based battle system, featuring beautiful animation and tactical gameplay.
Customize the software of your Cyber Deck to switch roles mid-battle, balancing offense, defense, and buffs. Choosing which software you load during battle is the key to victory! Hardware upgrades can help boost your stats, increase the amount of software you can install, or give Noa extra abilities.
The game features gorgeous “Hi-Bit” pixel art inspired by retro RPGs, where players can take on deadly foes in cyberspace and explore the dangerous world of Monocity One.
They must fight their way through dungeons filled with street punks, gangsters, corporate militia, and horrific cyber-experiments to make it through.
