About This Demo

Step into Mana Runner, a retro-cyberpunk action RPG set in an alternate-history New Orleans, 1997.
In this world, Half-Orcs, Elves, and Mana-powered magic exist alongside neon alleys, corporate sprawl, and back-alley tech dealers. Mega-corporations rule the city with ruthless control, and only those willing to work in the shadows can survive.

In this demo, you play as Jake Gideon, a mercenary, data courier, and Mana Runner for hire. Your jobs take you deep into the underbelly of the city, where every alley hides a threat and every corporation hides a secret.

Recruit a crew of skilled Runners, each with their own class, abilities, and combat roles; Hackers who crack digital defenses, Enforcers who punch through front lines, Mana Priests who channel destructive or healing magic, and many more. Build your team, upgrade your gear, and take on missions that could solve a brutal murder and unravel a deadly conspiracy involving some of the cities most unscrupulous and ruthless characters.

This demo includes a small portion of the beginning of the game, introducing you to Mana Runner's world, gameplay, and core systems. This is not the final product and serves as a proof of concept for the full experience. Your feedback is appreciated and will help improve the demo and support development of the full game through Kickstarter.
