Welcome to NeoSushi City

Ever since you came back from the Moon colonies you've been struggling to get into the smuggling business again. Things aren't as easy as they once were though, especially without your old pal Eddie around. It was him who brought all the major players in the market to do business with. And boy did they line up to hire you. Even the Yakuza used to pay almost twice the standard rate for moving passcodes through the international borders inside your Synapse.

All you've got now is a French crook that goes by the name of Lime, who cares more about setting up his own deals than bringing new quality customers on board to work with.

You always knew working with that french bastard was trouble, only you never realized how much until one of the deals he had setup went wrong.

Immerse Like Never Before

CYPHER: Cyberpunk Text Adventure is unlike anything you have ever played before; it is a whole new dimension in game interaction and storytelling you can vividly experience from within the realms of your own imagination!

Think of a book or movie you like the most, now imagine for a moment a limitless world of interaction and adventure where you not only take control of the main character of the story, but ARE the main character of the story! Every word you say, every decision or action you take is exclusively your own in the world of CYPHER.

In Text Adventures you communicate with the game world through conversational English sentences, the same way you would do in a chatroom or writing emails. The story unravels into a thrilling interactive experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat for hours... as long as you can escape death.

A deal that Lime helped to set up went horribly wrong; suddenly, you became a moving target with an incomplete upload inside your Synapse everybody seems to be after.

The chase through the streets of NeoSushi has just begun. How far will you go to stay alive tonight?

  • Make your way through the crowded streets of NeoSushi City

    A deal that goes wrong. A beautiful young woman wearing red cowboy boots following you into a Yakuza nightclub.

    A pack of Retrievers hired to chop your head off and "Mr.Smith", a mysterious man who claims to be a friend in a world where everyone is after the passcode stored in your Synapse. Will you live long enough to see what it unlocks?

Get ready to explore the many curiosities of NeoSushi City, including a futuristic Japanese street market owned by Yakuza and a Capsule Hotel with the only talking elevator in the world!

A world that comes alive in front of you

CYPHER runs on the most powerful graphic card in the history of mankind: your imagination. Every scene you read, every place you go to, every person you meet and interact with will be rendered completely by your imagination. This allows amazing details to be perceived differently each time you walk through the streets of NeoSushi City. Vendors move their tents at the market, clerks tend their customers, cops patrol each sector. The world of CYPHER is alive and only you can shape into an unique form.

Video games have never been so real. You will be dealing with prosthetic addicts, assassins, mercenaries and unscrupulous businessmen in a dystopian future where corporate property ranks above life itself.

How would you escape an invisible enemy?

The bastard who hijacked your deal has left nothing to chance. Every professional trick you know, every person you could turn to for help, every place where you could hide - it all has been already compromised by Retrievers, dangerous tech-junkies and mercenaries who seem to always be one step ahead of you, and what's even worse; they start to become luckier with each try. Will you be able to follow the threads and find out who the puppeteer is before it's too late?

Jump through windows, break in doors, fire C-Guns, ride hoovercars through NeoSushi and buy items from street vendors - these are only some of the actions you can do as Dogeron Kenan in the world of CYPHER.

You won't be looking at an empty screen with just text but at a full graphical interface specially designed to draw you into CYPHER.

We spent a great deal of time designing the GUI to not just recreate that immersive feeling of the golden classics of text adventures, but to actually take that core gameplay to the next level of evolution. We did so by adding special visual features to the gameplay that will aid you, the actual main character of the story, to see and hear small bits of the game world right from your screen.

Be careful when talking to people... not everyone will turn out to be a friend.

What you say and to whom you say it can become a matter of life or death in CYPHER. While some characters can provide you with insightful information that will get you closer to finding out who's behind the Retrievers, others might sell you out for a few credits. Always remember: in NeoSushi City, money speaks louder than words.

Like in real life, some people have double standards. What they say is not always what they truly mean. Spotting these people's true motives will become an important part of your survival.

Some people like it ROUGH

Riding a subway that transforms into an elevated railway through the entire city is just one of the things you can see when playing CYPHER. How does spending time in the sewers trying to escape gruesome mutant roaches while a sentry gun is firing at you feel? Or perhaps you would like to have a firefight in the middle of a Yakuza boss's birthday party? Too rough? Maybe stepping inside one of the Pleasure-Booths and talking to a four breasted young woman sounds better? There are no limits to the fun and choices you can have in CYPHER, the only question is; will you make the right choices in time?

You will be constantly put to the test with situations that require lateral thinking (and others that can only be solved with extreme violence)

A game world completely inspired by the popcorn movies of the 80's

CYPHER was conceived as a text adventure you could play on a Saturday night at home alone or with friends and relive that wonderful era of dark sci-fi that captured the imagination of millions (including us!) across the globe. Get yourself immersed in a world of futuristic chaos and become part of CYPHER: Cyberpunk Text Adventure.

While CYPHER is a single player game you can have friends watch you play and suggest different solutions to the puzzles and challenges you will face as the low life criminal Dogeron Kenan.

All adventurers can get stuck from time to time, it happened to all of us. Even with CYPHER being an introductory text adventure you can come across puzzles you just can't seem to find a way around. Yes there are forums around, but why go straight for the answer and ruin the flow of the game when you can get a Digital Hintbook included with your copy of CYPHER?

You will be given several hints, each one devised to get you closer to the answer without spoiling the fun of finding out for yourself what the answer is all about.

BONUS CONTENT:

Each copy of "CYPHER: Digital Hintbook" comes with two exclusive bonus items.

Who is behind CYPHER?

Two insane guys, that's who. "Cabrera Brothers" stands for Carlos and Javier Cabrera, a deadly team of amazingly talented clones created from the original Cabrera brothers who sadly perished in 2004 while trying to save the planet from an impending Armageddon. Working from the Fortress of Doom, a top secret facility on the High Earth Orbit, these two great champs of the independent development shape the life and destiny of hundreds of players by building games packed with rich storylines and wonderful graphics that amaze, terrify and awe gamers of all ages around the world.

spacer

Carlos has been working for years in the game industry as an illustrator and famous concept artist. You may recognize his incredible works from games such as the upcoming Alien Colonial Marines, F.E.A.R, LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, SECTION 8, Privateer Press, and the successful series of tutorials in the 2D ARTIST Magazine.

Besides working as an external consultant for the President of the United States over the Party and Entertainment affairs department (Clinton administration), Carlos is responsible for every bit of beautiful visual art you will see in Cypher and the game production and design.
Javier has been a web design whore for the last 10 years and instead committing suicide he decided to join forces with Carlos to make games. The motto is simple: "Games we used to love brought to the 21st century". His works have been spotted on CNN Money, Yahoo, and a bunch of other sites that made his customers very rich, famous, and popular with the opposite sex.

Javier also holds a "Master of the Universe Storyteller" degree granted by GOD himself and has been a ninja assassin for the last twenty-five years. He is also the responsible for the game design, coding and story of CYPHER: Cyberpunk text adventure.
