About This Demo

A cyberpunk narrative adventure / visual novel game.

The year is 2040. You are a washed-up genius hacker hiding out on the edge of the city — until one day, a mysterious android girl breaks into your shabby repair shop unannounced, dragging you into a deadly conspiracy woven by the megacorporate syndicate. Faced with bottomless darkness in the data, waves of gangsters and assassins, and four women bound to you by fate... every choice you make will decide not only who lives and who dies, but the fate of the entire city. Will you take the money and run — or burn this rotten world down for her?

"If a machine has a heart, what makes it different from a human? And if a human has no heart at all... isn't that just a machine?"

Welcome to New Varon, 2040. Here, neon lights glow above the clouds — the domain of Pioneer Corporation, whose algorithms and surveillance have built an order of absolute control. Down below, in the damp, overcrowded streets of the South District, people are barely scraping by in the cracks between lines of code.

Your name is Chen Mo. You were once Pioneer's top "Senior Personality Trainer." Now, you're nothing but an underground hacker and repairman who only cares about money, known by the alias "Ghost Hand." You thought you'd long since grown numb to this city's cold indifference — until two pieces of "cargo" shatter your quiet, carefree life.

One is a top-of-the-line custom android that a crime boss has personally ordered you to crack open — inside it lies a "Pandora's Box" capable of destroying the reputations of the elite uptown.

The other is a mysterious prototype girl named MoMo — impossibly beautiful, with a factory-blank memory, yet stubbornly determined to stay by your side and learn "how to be human."

When code begins to feel, when profit collides with conscience — the biggest system bug New Varon has ever seen is one you just triggered yourself.

Immersive Retro-Cyberpunk Hacking

Tired of the same old sci-fi look? The game embraces a richly textured Retro-Cyberpunk aesthetic. In your Studio Zero, you'll hack using old CRT monitors, tape recorders, mechanical switches, and physical probes. Against the crackle of lo-fi vintage jazz, experience the hardcore romance of working precision instruments and battered motherboards with your own hands.

 

A Massive Butterfly Effect & Node-Based Story Tree

Every gear of fate turns at your command. The game features a visualized Story Tree system — every dialogue choice, every success or failure in QTE events, leads to radically different branches. From lowly hacker to corporate assassin, from fleeing hand in hand to burning everything down — dozens of branching paths and multiple shocking endings await. Rewind the story tree at any time and change their destinies!

 

Heart-Pounding QTEs & Interactive Gameplay

This is no click-through visual novel. When cracking deadly "Chu Locks," dodging assassins in pursuit, or even fending off sudden... temptations — you'll need fast reflexes and split-second decisions in intense QTE (Quick Time Events) and signature interactive sequences. Your hand speed and judgment will decide whether you live to see tomorrow's sun over New Varon.

 

Bonds & Redemption: Four Women of Fate

In the crossfire between the dark web and the real world, you'll forge deep bonds with four women of wildly different backgrounds and personalities. Raise their Neural Sync Rate (affinity) through story choices to unlock exclusive hidden scenes and top-secret character files.

MoMo — Codename "Zero," The Mysterious Prototype

"I want to be your family. I want to be the one... that you would still love, even after I've been reduced to scrap."

Tags: [Innocent] [Sweet] [Devoted]

A nameless android who appeared out of nowhere in your repair shop, wielding terrifying computing power and the highest-level access to infiltrate any network undetected. She knows nothing of human hypocrisy or greed — only clumsily imitates you, learning humanity's "pointless gestures" and "love." She is the source of the coming storm, and your warmest, most vulnerable soft spot in this frozen city.

 

M-300 — "The Swan Meat" Fallen into the Dark Web

“System lacks a 'self-will' driver module. But I... don't want to be hit anymore. Can I... stay here?"

Tags: Pioneer's VIP Escort Model / A Dangerous Encrypted Blind Box

A special custom unit shipped less than three months ago — originally an exclusive creation of Pioneer Corporation for the elites of Uptown, now unexpectedly crashed into the South District black market, becoming a priceless "rare prey" in the eyes of crime lords. Beneath her cold, flawless synthetic skin, her system is pre-loaded with multiple personality modules that can switch on command — from "punishment scripts" to "obedient companion."

 

Liu Shiyu — The Fiery Fixer of the Grey Zone

"Save your sweet talk. Come back alive, or I'm not cleaning up your mess."

Tags: [Sultry] [Pragmatic] [Loyal at Heart]

A former top-tier psychological counselor, now the most well-connected broker of intelligence and dirty jobs in the South District. Curvaceous, decisive, and always talking money — yet when your life is on the line, she's always the first to stand in front of you.

 

Xia Nuo — The Ice-Cold "Black Market Boss" of the Dark Web

"I intend to be a nail driven deep into Pioneer Corporation's artery — even if it means being smashed to pieces!"

Tags: [Bold] [Aloof] [Avenger]

The proprietor of the underground black market "No. 44," hiding a vast dark-web network behind a vintage vinyl record shop. She harbors a deep, bone-deep hatred for Pioneer Corporation. Ally with her, and you gain unparalleled protection — but also risk falling into an abyss from which there is no return.

 

Gu Qingwan — The Coldly Rational Corporate Executive

"In this system, there are no loopholes to exploit. Chen Mo — how long do you think you can last?"

Tags: [Rational] [Capable] [Restrained]

Head of Pioneer's Data Department, always in a crisp business suit and gold-rimmed glasses. She was once your closest comrade-in-arms — and the one you secretly loved. Now standing on the opposite side of the battlefield, what truth lies beneath her mask?
