Holy 90s adventure revival, Batman. Neofeud is a non stop feast of deja vues of interesting but arguably worse games from the 90s like Noctropolis, Harvester or | Have No Mouth and | Have To Scream, done mainly by a (arguably very very intelligent) guy that is from Hawaii and works as a robotics teacher in a probably difficult place - meaning, what you see in the game are things that probably he has been living there. The best part though is how he mixes all the 90s “cd rom multimedia” cyberpunk aesthetic and how he runs with it all along. And the game is very well written, very fair (for the moment at least) and has atmosphere in spades. Maybe if the references are nothing to you, you will not be able to enjoy it. But that's part of it. Neofeud is a game about empathy, about humanity, about fighting the oppressor, which is what Cyberpunk was about until it was washed out to be the bland neon aesthetic of today. | love it. | love the author, and | hope to see many things from him.

I came across this developer on social media and first | only bought this game on sale as a means to support them, like a money donation and not a game. Then | dabbled into it, and I'm far from finished (my logical capabilities are outrageously bad mao), but it has just so much *heart*, from the little references to the uniquely drawn style. | will play more when | have time, it's really putting the anti-establishment back into cyberpunk and it's so unflinchingly anticapitalist that's refreshing. It's clear in showing both "this is how capitalism works, this is. how opression works" and the possibility of resistance. And when the noose around our necks get only tighter, we need art to show that a better world is possible. It's very worth to pay attention to Neofeud and the upcoming second game.
