Product received for free Chronicle of cyberpunk ▸ writes Chronicle of cyberpunk, it's a game that made me feel a mix of disappointment and pleasant surprise. And as a result, I don't know what to say. This evaluation would be neutral if it could be because although I enjoyed the game, I can not help but tell me that a glum Bulgakov of ideas, even good, does not necessarily produce a good idea...
The graphic choice is a daring risk, that is what makes you like or dislike. For my part, I had a bit of trouble but I made it. As for the sound atmosphere, it is quite correct although may not be assertive enough.
The problem is mostly narrative, since Chronicle of cyberpunk focuses on story rich in a dystopian and sci-fi context. Depending on your involvement in the background as well as your adaptation, the game will last you between a little more than 1h and 3h. The background is nice and the ideas put forward are not meaningless, but as I said, to want to put too much, Ben the player has a certain percentage of chance to emerge a little sickened and at the same time puzzled. Which was somewhat my case since I really had this impression of mixed stories very cheloue. I prefer not to spread over it because it is the only real interest of the game and it would be a shame to come to break it in spoilant.
Be careful, the title is only available in English or Russian.
Chronicle of cyberpunk may seem rough at first and in appearance, but once adapted, it flows all by itself. And for the time being, the scenario is not as predictable as one might think in view of the synopsis. So I would just say "why not".

Product received for free frankly, Bravo.
Chronicles of cyberpunk, released in 2017, is an adventure/narrative game, where one embodies a man living in a city controlled by big brother, a wicked boss, and his loyal super-computer. (It looks lame like that, but frankly, the game is worth a visit!)
I got a key from the developer. It did not influence my judgement.
The most:-the atmosphere is just unhealthy as possible. I've never seen that before. Between stressful, slow or intoxicating music, sleek and smooth textures, and dark, neutral, cold colors, we really have something evil coming out of this city. And I weigh my words.
-The story, without spoiler, because the game is based on it, is simply great. I was not expecting a run like that or a fall like that.
-The worries of the details is present. Every character in town has its own dialogue, and that evolves when you move into the game. Moreover, these phrases, sometimes philosophical, sometimes dumb, also teach us more about the background of the game, about the life that is imposed on them. There are even more details in the city, with a lot of monuments, references, etc... We can spend a little time looking for everything the game hides.
-About 3h of gameplay, which is just what it takes to my eyes for this kind of game.
-I thought the graphics were a little bit the sheep of the herd, but nan, it's finally what makes it its strength. This coldest, when one advances in the game and its history, makes sense.
The less:-no VF, and the English version, although correct overall, has a few approximate phrases.
-A little confused at first. Players who are less invested, or not conquered by the atmosphere, may give up quickly. (I spent 20min finding my clothes and food in a 10m ² apartment. I call it a feat.)
N.B.:-when we know that the developer has done this on his own, it forces respect.
Conclusion: Chronicles of cyberpunk is a little gem. Its universe, its atmosphere and its history will carry you in something unexpected. This permanent stress will be with you until the end of the game. And that's what it's all about!
