Das Cyberpunk-Abenteuer Tales of the Neon Sea wurde ursprünglich via Kickstarter angeschoben und erfolgreich finanziert. Nun hat das Spiel den Goldstatus erreicht und erscheint somit am 30. April für den PC via Steam. Zodiac Interactive [Candleman, Death Coming und Iris.Fall] verwendete als Inspiration Blade Runner und Ghost in the Shell.
Passend zu diesem erfreulichen Grund wurde ein frisches Video veröffentlicht der das Gameplay von Tales of the Neon Sea zeigt.
Das sagt der Entwickler:
“We grew up as sci-fi lovers on classic anime and movies, with their own variation on an alluring and terrifying cyberpunk future.” says the producer, Tian Chao, “At the same time, growing up in China during the ongoing economic boom has given many of us the feeling of actually living in such a world of towering skyscrapers and hazy neon streets! Even Denis Villeneuve, director of the recent Blade Runner sequel, referenced Beijing during the design of that movie. This gives us a unique perspective to inject into the now familiar cyberpunk vision. In the game, players will find many puzzles and stories with oriental characteristics, but the oriental elements are only part of the „Tales of the Neon Sea“ world view. Other elements in the game also occupy a very important position. We believe that the integration of these elements creates an interesting and unique experience.”
