I’m making a retro cyberpunk life sim where you work jobs, browse a fake internet, play arcade games, and eventually start hacking the corporation that owns everything
I’m making it with a lot of help from Claude, which has honestly made game development way more fun for me. I’ve made stuff before, but doing something this involved on my own always felt like a huge uphill battle.
I know some people are going to hate that it’s AI-assisted, and that’s fair. I’m not trying to hide it. I’m just having a blast finally making the kind of game I’ve always wanted to play.
It’s a retro cyberpunk life sim / hacking game where you can work jobs, make money, upgrade your apartment, play arcade games, browse a fake internet, meet people, and slowly get pulled into the hacking side of the city.
The playtest is still early, but there’s already a decent amount to mess around with.
If anyone checks it out, I’d love to hear what you think, especially bugs or stuff that makes you go “I wish I could do this.”
