DEFECT

The System's entanglements run deep, grasping onto everyone and everything that inhabits this place. No one's to blame, not even for the secrecy.

Living in this bloodthirsty city under The System can change a man. It has a way of seeping into your very soul, manifesting like a sickness that is all consuming.

How do people describe your game: - Dredd meets Ready or Not - Action layered in atmosphere - Heavy metal cyberpunk

In the struggle for control, this city sure has a way about manipulating even the most moral of civilians.

Denial is a tool used for survival when you live in a deceitful metropolis like this. The haunting guilt, however, will have you seeing illusions of what you most desire everywhere you turn.

Chaos has plagued this city into abyss. With cops and gang factions at odds, their arms and their covet for control are what's fueling the fire. Wishlist DEFECT now: store.steampowered.com/app/2470010/DE…

Living under the jurisdiction of The System also means being wrangled by their police force, fortified with the most menacing gadgets.

There is a hunger to seize degree of power and these gangs are geared to take it.

A world shaped by rebellion, oppression, and the fragility of humanity. When chaos threatened extinction, humanity surrendered to The System, an AI built to enforce balance at all costs. Who knew The System would became humanity’s greatest oppressor in its cold pursuit of order?
