Born Punk

Synopsis

Bornholm. Today, a quaint island in the Baltic Sea. In 2155, a sprawling metropolis competing with major world powers. Thanks to its space elevator, a technological marvel built by Bornholm's corporate consortium called 'The Conglomerate', few nations on the planet are more influential both in industrial matters and matters of space exploration.

In Born Punk, the player slips into the role of three persons (well, two persons depending on who you ask) living on the island: Eevi, a corporate combat hacker turned bartender down on her luck; Mariposa, the CEO of Bornholm's biggest corporation; and an android who calls himself Grandmaster Flashdrive. And there's a cat. The player can also play as the cat. CAT.

The three characters (not the cat) have one thing in common: they all, one after another, get possessed by a strange entity of unknown origin and even less known intentions. They must work together - and sometimes against each other - to find out of the nature of that being, what it wants, and why it seems to think that its 'mission' is of vital importance for the future of humankind. 

Key features

* A classic point-and-click adventure experience: whilst we're proud to feature our very distinct style, we are heavily influenced by games like Monkey Island or Beneath a Steel Sky and try to please both veteran afficionados of the genre and newcomers alike with a traditional pixel-art appearance and streamlined, modern approach to game design 

* Movement everywhere: you won't be feeling like you're walking through a still life painting; Born Punk's world is alive and full of animation, soundscapes and little details to discover

* Choices and consequences: often, it's possible to approach dialogs and puzzles from different angles. As a result, potential interactions with other characters, the difficulty to overcome certain obstacles, and the results of some actions will be slightly to majorly different 

* Full voice-overs: every character in Born Punk and every line is voiced by professional voice actors 

* Bombastic music: the main theme and various other tracks are composed by Jeff Kurtenacker, composer of Wildstar and choral arranger of World of Warcraft. Jeff is joined by a merry band of synthwave musicians to bring to you a genuine cyberpunk atmosphere with a nordic twist 

* Let's be serious, it's funny: Born Punk is science-fiction with heavy cyberpunk influences; but we're also boasting a hopeful, often humorous undertone. Point & click adventures without at least a bit of humour are unthinkable to us! 

* A comprehensive universe: there's lots of background info to read and experience, which gets added to your PDA as you continue to interact with the gameworld. Lore nerds should be happy about this! Sometimes, in-game lore will also serve as a gameplay mechanic.
