All this will help in achieving the goal. He decides to find her, for this he needs to look for clues around the city, communicate with different residents and solve puzzles. One day, he wakes up, and she is not, and on the mirror there is only a letter with a mysterious message. He lives with a girl who, like him, goes against the system. He is not connected to the system and does not have a chip, and can also see the world as it really is. The main character is a simple guy named Nathan who is a hacker and also a rebel. In addition, the overhang of the world around does not at all look like it is projected into the eyes of the inhabitants, everything is much worse. It would seem that not everything is so bad, but human freedom is immediately violated, making them slaves of the system in the literal sense. They are followed by total surveillance, and thanks to this, each person is offered everything that he needs at a particular moment.Īll this is generated thanks to neural networks and artificial intelligence. In this game universe, the whole world is connected by a common network to which all people are connected. If you’re a p&c vet like me, you’ll relish the challenges and nods at oldschool references throughout the game.VirtuaVerse is a 2D futuristic cyberpunk quest in retro style. I’m not saying this in a negative context, I just think the developers know the types of gamers they’re targeting with this game and ran with it. I feel that if you’re a current-gen gamer who hasn’t played many of the old 90’s point-and-click games, you may you may want to have a walkthrough at the ready. It has great humour, oldschool technology throwbacks, neon cyberpunk aesthetics and amazing synthwave music. VirtuaVerse is such a great game and represents the point-and-click genre at it’s finest. There were also some throwbacks to technology of old, referencing MBR (master boot record), Amiga and old PC devices, and ASCII code. There were some great scenes inside a seedy nightclub (and boy were there some hilariously seedy scenes) that gave a nod to the crude humour of some of the old p&c games (I’m looking at you Leisure Suit Larry). be sure to order two pizzas when you get to that part, and yes, use that dating site app!). Or you may have talked to them and initially fobbed off the discussion to just general chit chat, however in one of the conversations would be a piece of the puzzle you need to find (eg. There are times where you need to move back and forth between characters to get more conversation options. There are however, some puzzles that are on the ‘how the heck was I supposed to know that’ scale, and I’m pretty meticulous when it comes to reading everything and talking to everyone. It’s gameplay elements that have been done before, but are enhanced with this futuristic cyberpunk flair. Some are purely just aesthetics and art, while others give you hints at what to do next, and even so far as communicating with other graffiti artists in their own graffiti-language. Once he wears them, you see a different layer of graffiti, signs and electronics layered over the real-world objects and scenes. The better puzzles in the game were when Nathan used his AVR goggles (after you fix them, of course). I admit I ended up having to watch a walkthrough numerous times to work out what to do, but it is was never frustrating enough to make me want to quit. There’s always a solution, and it’s often staring you in the face, but sometimes you need to go back and forth and re-talk to people to get new options. However, that sequence took me about 45-60 minutes of scratching my head, taking suggestions from viewers in my Twitch stream who were as stumped as I was, and just general trial and error. In the situation above, I have told you the direct path to take to get to that point. The developers have been really clever in how everything and everyone is connected for Nathan to keep progressing the story. You then need to figure out how to distract this homeless dude so you can get the spare headset for a part to fix your own. He puts a spare AVR headset into the dumpster as storage which you could use to fix your set, however he wont let you touch the dumpster. Next to the dumpster is a homeless dude who’s looking for his next AVR fix. This makes the chef take the food out the back and throw it into a dumpster. Putting two and two together, if you add some spice (that you need to find somewhere else) to the dish that guy #1 doesn’t like, you get a hot and spicy reaction from the food critic. The other says he’s a food critic but hates spice. The larger of the two patrons essentially said he’ll eat anything except for one dish. You could talk to the chef but he was being a d*ck. To give you an example of how things progress, I went into a sushi-train restaurant that had two patrons and a chef.
