About This Game

The last outpost of civilisation on the edge of the badlands. One of the most relevant, cosmopolitan cities in the world. Is it any wonder you ended up here?

cyberpunkdreams is an evolving text-based role-playing adventure with countless opportunities and endless chances for creation and destruction. Take on the role of a lone wanderer sent to the gates of 2090s Cincinnati. The dirt and grit from the badlands coats your clothes -- with your memories torn from you, all you have is a weapon across your back and a mission to complete.

Enter a living, growing world, with over 2.8 million words of content and over 3,000 unique pieces of hand-drawn artwork, Experience new stories and other content each and every month, plus regular limited time events. You’ll always find new surprises waiting for you in Cinci's dark and dirty alleys.

Who will you become in this cesspool of a city? Will you play the games and climb to the top, or be forgotten amongst the march of time and tyranny?

Every action counts

cyberpunkdreams is designed to be played in short bursts over the long term. You have a limited number of Action Points to use every real life day, and any number of ways you can use them. Draw from your decks and risk reward or injury. Stick to safer places to rest, recuperate and work on your skills, or work with your inventory to prepare for the next hustle. Events can unfold over days, weeks or even months. You can also store Action Points for later use, using breathers, hit the binge button for extended play sessions and discover new ways to hack and manipulate the system.

The Action Point system establishes pacing in an brutal setting where any mistake could cost your life, as well as enabling the development team to keep creating stories every month, maintaining the game as free-to-play and always giving you more to discover. cyberpunkdreams has been in continuous development since 2013, with no plans for slowing down.

So ease yourself in for one long, wild ride. cyberpunkdreams is a living game that will be updated with new content for years to come.

Uncompromising cyberpunk narrative

Enter a future grounded in reality: a world distorted by corporations and dominated by poverty. This is down to the bone cyberpunk, as raw as it gets: violent, gritty and sexual... if you want it to be. Experience a world just a turn of a corner away from our own. Be ready for hard, bitter choices. Be ready to carve out your niche with whatever it takes, be it blood, love and everything in between.

Learn who you are through your actions & choices

Your abilities are intrinsically tied to your successes and failures. There are a multitude of ways to solve each problem you’ll encounter -- what you choose impacts not only your chances of making it out alive, but also how your character grows and experiences the world.

Who needs romance when you have hard banging?

cyberpunkdreams offers everything from long term partnerships to dirty alleyway hook-ups. Experience the sleaze of slums sex work, the buzz of Interstate or the dark pleasures of the Projects. Be in charge or be under someone's heel. The choices are endless -- including to opt out completely, if that's your preference.

Choices have consequences, and the city remembers

Your choices aren’t detached from the lives of the people around you. Richly detailed NPCs will evolve on their own, remember and react to the alliances you create, the mercy you give and the morals you stand by. If you’re looking for a true lesson of consequence, you’ve come to the right city. Be ready for people who don't care about you, or care about you too much. People who will revel in your choices, or hate them.

Embrace yourself, flaws and all

cyberpunkdreams offers highly customisable character creation that continues throughout your entire time in Cincinnati. Become who you want to be. Occupy your skin in any way you choose. Gender, sexuality, cybernetics, mutations, clothing and equipment all combine to create a fluid system with any number of possibilities. Choose not just what you do but why you do it. Respond to the things that happen to you with glee or bitter remorse, and choose which of these inner feelings to share with the NPCs who are close to you.
