Hello,
after the sucessful launch of XXX_CYBERRAT_XXX, we've now moved to our next game, THREAT ACTOR. The success of cyberrat has taught us a lot of lessons: not only from a technical perspective, but it also gave us more of a defined idea what players want and enjoy in dark, cybercrime-themed games.
Compared to cyberrat, THREAT ACTOR will have a bigger budget and more realistic, detailed and polished mechanics. Instead of relying on roguelike resets after death and time-based pressure, THREAT ACTOR will be a game focused on dark web exploration and interactions with other cybercriminals.
Instead of roguelike permament death, the player will be punished for his/her failures in a more balanced way: the death of your party members that you've spent a lot of time leveling up, your precious marketplaces overtaken by hostile factions, and your own character getting more and more deluded and paranoid. Depending on your gameplay style, your character will experience anxiety attacks and hallucinations, adding horror elements on top of regular gameplay.
I will also try to add as many level-up / traits / skills mechanics as I can, to really give the player the sense of his cybercrime faction getting stronger and stronger, slowly dominating the Dark Web and overcoming other cybercrime factions.
For now, the game is in very early development: there are only a couple of UIs I've designed and a general concept. As the game is being developed, more content will be added to the store page, first of which is probably the main 2.5D map representing the Dark Web.
