NeuroNet Releases New Opening Cinematic Trailer
Next month (or this month, depending on which hour you’re reading this in), developer Dream Harvest will release a public demo for its upcoming narrative adventure NeuroNet. But thanks to the new trailer released today, you can see the first few moments of the game right now. This, we’re told, is the opening cinematic of NeuroNet. What do you think?
The futuristic city of Catena is controlled by an advanced AI, which looks at its citizens from a street-view angle and takes their requests and demands directly from their faces. Playing as the AI, you’ll be forced to see the consequences of bad ideas directly, which adds more pressure not to mess up. As you manage your citizen’s lives, balance resources and allocate funding for improvements or defenses, you’ll get to know them on an individual level, making the moral decisions you must make that much more weighty.
