Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals.
Synopsis:
2033 - We create AI. Sentient robots arrive, but not as our Terminator overlords or our Singularity saviors -- conscious machines are humanity's unwanted bastard children. A few are geniuses who design flying cars, beat cancer, invent teleportation, but millions of defective prototypes roll out of factories -- mentally challenged, motivationally-challenged, criminally-inclined. Legally conscious, but unhirable, these "Defectives" are shuffled through public housing an…d welfare assistance, straining the already overburdened back of the meager social safety net. The robots who don't end up in prison are dumped, as a last resort, into a massive landfill known as "The Pile".
Humans engage in perfection of their species -- or at least the powerful and well-connected -- genetically engineering children with the human and animal DNA. The failed eugenics experiment "Frankenpeople" are discarded into "The Pile" as well. The new dynasties, 'Neofeudal Lords', live in towering neon glass castles, shuttle around in pristine nanotech-enabled pods, minds and bodies full of cyberware, spending most of their time taking selfies and "optimizing their monetization schemes". A race of supermen concerned only with their own status, their prestige, their success. Where machines have become all too flawed and human, people have become flawless, perfect, cold machines.
Karl Carbon is an ex-cop, dishonorably discharged from Coastlandia PD for disobeying an order to shoot an unarmed sentient humanoid. Karl is exiled to "The Pile" as a lowly social worker. There he counsels gangbanging foster-kid robots and confiscates chimera-children from deadbeat half-wolf parents. Till one day a case goes horribly sideways and and Karl is drawn into a sordid conspiracy that could threaten the strained fabric of Human-Robot-Hybrid civilization -- or save it.
FEATURE TIME
-15+ hours of gameplay.
-An original dystopic sci-fi world and story that will (hopefully) make you question some of your core beliefs. Or at least my sanity
-Tricky yet satisfying, point-n-click detective work, interspersed with tense action shootouts.
-Handpainted, uber-gritty, noir futureland. Makes Mad Max and Rick Deckard crap their pants.
-Endless bombardment of witty one-liners from hardboiled cyberpunk.

I enjoyed my time with this game
What an amazing game! Great story and characters, very touching. Love the artwork and music - must play!
Neofeud is everything we love about cyberpunk and neo-noir: a disgruntled investigator traversing the dystopian world of the future to unravel a grand conspiracy. It is on par with the genre's neo-classics such as Technobabylon and Primordia. Its strongest suit is the writing. The investigation revolves around an engaging story of inequality, injustice, hubris, depravity and twisted socio-politics. It's a biting satire on the world of today, translated into the archetypes of futurism, with robots, flying cars and AI viewed through the dark sunglasses of cyberpunk. It gets really philosophical, esoteric even, with its musings on human consciousness and alternate realities -- but it doesn't shy away from comic relief, either. There are nods to film classics of the 80's and 90's, plenty of outrageous name puns, and two quirky sidekicks helping Karl Carbon on his mission.
The graphics have their own unique style: instead of going for huge pixels (as most retro adventure games do) or pre-rendered 3D, Neofeud's locations and characters are part digipainted, part collage -- which, surprisingly, fits the game's world itself perfectly. The music -- various styles and flavors of electronica -- goes well with the cyberpunk settings and the plot itself, as it shifts between grim stagnation, action and moments of reverie. The voice acting is solid -- and indeed, the characters talk a lot. Interactions seem to be the most important game mechanics, logical puzzles being on the simple side, so as to keep the story going. There's plenty of action and plot twists, and an epic dramatic grand finale. A grand adventure not to be missed!
Played the demo this weekend. I really like the story, and the world building is impressive. It's interesting and different than most adventure games I've played. The dialog can be long at parts, and overall the GUI and art is a bit rough around the edges. However the art is nothing like I've seen before, which is pretty cool. Overall I added the full version to my wishlist. I'll probably want to play the full thing at some point. The music and voice-acting is pretty good.
If you'd like to do a Let's Play series of Neofeud, please send me a message!
Also, if you are an Adventure Game Studio member and took part in the development of Neofeud, but do not see your name there, please let me know and I will add you to the credits. :)
