We’ve been chipping away at this game about androids and feelings and megacorps for over 18 months. Now there are only 4 days left before Silicon Dreams spills its circuitry onto the Steam store, and we wanted to take a step back and look at what the game was when we began planning, what it [...]

Howdy cyberpunks! We’ve been keeping our nose to whatever androids use instead of grindstones, and the game is really taking shape.
