NEONNET vs DATA

A good card, a lucky roll and a smart move can turn a rough room into a great story. NEONNET is a cyberpunk roguelike deck builder that mixes tactical card battles, dice and dungeon exploration with a retro terminal's charm. You are an operator working through a troubled network, choosing who to trust and what to do with the records you recover. Expect hostile robots, useful contacts, credit caches and the occasional room name that deserves an eye roll. ROLL, EXPLORE, REPEAT - Roll a movement die, study the map and choose your route. - Explore a board of 36 rooms with robots, rewards, story encounters and services. - Enter STARX3 for compact 3 x 3 rooms connected by short, two-tile passages. - Spend your saved movement roll across legal grid steps, with remaining steps carried between taps. - Keep an eye on health and Credits while your next hand waits below the dungeon. - Switch between STARX2 and STARX3 while continuing the same adventure. BUILD A DECK THAT SUITS YOU - Choose from Packet Striker, Signal Intruder, Firewall Runner and Daemon Tinker starter styles. - Play attack, hacking, defense, draw and daemon cards. - Check each card's dice requirement before committing. - Weigh the cost of a card that returns through the discard pile against one that exhausts for the run. - Pick card rewards or take Credits when the room offers a choice. - Inspect your hand, draw pile, discard pile and exhausted cards in Deck. - Browse the Card Library for effects, dice rules and ways to find cards.

A STORY WITH PEOPLE TO REMEMBER - Set your motive and starting contact before your adventure begins. - Recover a blackout record and decide how its story should end. - Meet Patchwife, Mirror and Lattice, each with different interests in the network. - Make choices about service, evidence and who receives the recovered record. - Follow objectives and revisit your decisions in the Journal. - Continue through three story chapters as your run develops. RETRO STYLE, PRACTICAL CONTROLS - Enjoy pixel characters, robot artwork and a terminal-inspired atmosphere. - Watch gameplay dice throw, bounce and settle on the result of your action. - Read the roll and outcome in a compact result popup. - Open the log for the full story behind a short notification. - Bring up the command terminal to type your next action. - Use the separate Dice Tray for practice throws without spending a gameplay turn. - Adjust music, haptics and motion to suit the way you play.

NEONNET is a good fit for players who enjoy turn-based strategy, dungeon crawlers, card games and fictional hacking adventures. There is time to inspect a room, change your plan and enjoy the small victories: a guard outplayed, a useful card found or a risky pot banked at exactly the right moment. Optional purchases unlock extras including autosave and save export through the Floppy Save Kit. Pick a deck, roll for the next room and outsmart the network.

Welcome to the year 2095! Let me get you up to speed. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is: Some things never change. People still flock to the bustling metropolises for the chance to make something of themselves, Neo-Chicago deep-dish is still the most delicious meal known to man. And betting on the Bulls is still the best short-term investment known to man. Some things have changed though. The cars hover. The guns are laser pistols. AI can finally draw fingers. And when I said that people make something of themselves, they’re mostly making themselves into cybernetically enhanced criminals. Or selling their souls to the giant corporations that run pretty much everything now. We’ll call those guys corpos. And I know that’s not worse than criminal but … it kind of feels worse. It’s not all bad though. The hottest new tech on the streets is called “Daylight”. You know solar panels? It’s like that. Except like a million times stronger. And people have been building some pretty amazing things with it. Mecha robots. Supercomputers. Crazy new cybernetic augments. But you’ve gotta make hay while the sun shines because when night falls, all that stuff goes offline and we’re living in 2092 again. One thing’s for sure. There’s no shortage of adventure for corpos *or* criminals... Or hackers, vidjocks, ripperdocs, triggerheads, brutes or storytellers. It’s time for you to go find your own adventures and make your own stories. Who are you going to be?
