Steam Store description

BACK US ON KICKSTARTER About the Game A dying city. A string of suicides. A detective with nothing left to lose. Netherveil City eats the weak. Its streets bleed neon, its corpses crawl back to life, and its secrets? They'll gnaw through your sanity. Step into the worn boots of Detective Howard. Armed with a rusted badge, a sentient rose that won't shut up, and a pocketful of stolen dice. Explore the city. Interrogate the dead. Expose the c*rpos. Investigate. Make choices. Loot the dice. Roll the dice. And survive. (Optional.) Dice are oxygen. They keep you alive. Earn 'em, spend 'em, lose 'em. Hoard too long, and opportunities vanish. Roll recklessly, and resources burn. There’s no perfect build. No power fantasies. Just survival... barely. Your choices build character. Your character builds choices. Intelligence picks locks in silence. Virtue pleads for mercy. Foolishness laughs at the abyss. These fragments clash, corrupt, and rewrite your path mid-conversation. Choose your poison and deal with the consequences. A hand-shattered art style. Where manga’s precision meets the raw nerve of American comics. Ripping pages from legends like Blame!, Biomega, Akira, and Berserk. Our artistry aims to evoke the same depth and intensity that made these series iconic. Gear up for an auditory assault. Noir Jazz, Cyberpunk Techno, Death Metal. This isn't background noise. Sonic warfare. Heroes don't last long in Netherveil. This is a manifesto for the forgotten, the erased, the expendable, those never given a chance. It’s about those who were never meant to survive, yet so…
