2064: Read Only Memories 2015

Is it still worth playing?

A journalist tracks down a kidnapped friend in Neo San Francisco during the Christmas season of 2064, in this cyberpunk adventure game from MidBoss. Hayden Webber is an engineer at Parallax, a company whose line of personal assistant robots, the ROMs, have overtaken smartphones and computers. The journalist is aided by Turing, Hayden's creation and the world's first sapient machine, a self modifying robot that learns and grows emotionally, and by locals such as the hacker TOMCAT, the police detective Lexi Rivers and the attorney Jess Meas. The game was heavily inspired by 1980s and 1990s adventure games such as Snatcher, Rise of the Dragon and Gabriel Knight, and its soundtrack is by 2 Mello. Some seemingly minor choices permanently change the story, and the campaign takes roughly eight to ten hours. A robot friend who learns to feel still gives the mystery its heart.
