Driving around and delivering not quite legal packages, having conversations with countless colorful characters, and musing about the events with your faithful automaton, you will end up uncovering Nivalis’ secrets and you will bring on change by the power of choice. But just by listening and caring about others, you will have the chance to enact change through peaceful means. Many times you will feel a simple witness to what is going on, at first glance powerless to make a difference.
The game developed by Ion Lands chooses to focus on the more philosophical aspect of the cyberpunk culture, completely removing violence from the equation. During the roughly eight to ten hours story, you will discover several tragedies hidden in the shadows cast by the blinding neon commercials of the city. The humans, androids, and AIs are all living together in a decaying environment, with a lot of tension caused by the structure of the society. Cloudpunk depicts the first night of our protagonist in a visually stunning world, trying to navigate not just the avenues of the metropolis, but also the social hierarchy governing this futuristic world. You will be given a flying car, a HOVA, that helps you earn a living, but also represents the means to escape your past. You will take on the life of Rania, an outsider forced to move to Nivalis, a busy megapolis that bever sleeps. One of them is Cloudpunk, a game that offers a glimpse into the life of a courier above the clouds while trying to answer almost deep questions about what it means to be human. Seeing the hype built in recent years around CD Project Red’s next major project, a lot of games ended up with this futuristic sci-fi setting as the canvas on which they tell their stories. Maybe one of the best things about Cyberpunk 2077, beyond the game itself, is that it reminded developers that gamers have a special place in their hearts for the cyberpunk subculture.
