Transform yourself through grafting as you escape a vast, dying space station in this thrilling post-cyberpunk survival horror RPG from the makers of BATTLETECH and the Shadowrun Trilogy.

When I saw this game was being made by Harebrained, I knew I recognized the name and the gameplay made me think this was the group that made RUINER. But no, this is the group that made Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong. So they have a history of making cyberpunk games and they refer to this one as "post-cyberpunk". It could be interesting.

I'm curious how the grafting mechanic will play out. I'm hoping it's more than just stat changes. Looks interesting though. Will have to keep an eye on this one.

I wonder if they will confer special abilities to essentially build a custom class on the fly.

Used to have fun playing the RPG with friends back in the late 80s and early 90s. Always liked the background to the game, the blending of tech, magic, and fantasy realms. Looks like all 3 of those PC games are on Steam, have to put them on the wish list.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Cyberpunk characteristics include:
