Technobabylon 2015

Is it still worth playing?

Newton is a city run by an AI, Central, and three people are caught in it: murders, a stolen memory and a conspiracy around the machine that governs them. This 2015 cyberpunk adventure for Windows, later on iOS in 2017 and the Mac and Linux in 2022, switches between its characters across ten chapters of point and click puzzles, with items combined and used and a choice near the end that changes the ending. Connecting to the internet takes people into a virtual world called the Trance, where Latha, one of the protagonists, is happiest. James Dearden began it in 2010 and gave three episodes away before it stalled for four years. Central is still a cyberpunk city whose governor is the thing under investigation.
