About Tales of the Neon Sea

About this game

Tales of the Neon Sea is a retro-style pixel-art adventure, set in a fully-realized cyberpunk cityscape where you will encounter innumerous items to investigate, curious easter eggs, and a whole cast of interactive NPCs. You must analyze every detail, and discover the truth that lurks behind the heavy mist…

Take on the role of Rex, veteran cop turned hard-boiled detective. Investigate crime in a future cyberpunk world, where the magnificent sky city blots out the sun - but the neon lights never go out. Solve a strange murder case involving clues from a robot rebellion…

The illusion of the past re-emerges. The weird equipment inside the brain. The mysterious package of evidence. The shadow with a beaked mask. All pointing to a serial murder case from 13 years ago... A semi-mechanical god manipulates the destiny of all in this utopia. Rebels lurk in the dark, in the underground world where chaotic slums and tricks grow. Our detective will scout for clues and end unfulfilled wishes...

Features:

Gripping Narrative
Investigate the murder scene, examine the evidence, and use your powers of deduction to solve the case, piece by piece. Once the mist has cleared, will you see the truth - or uncover an even bigger mystery?

Old School Pixel-art and Detailed Environmental Design
Stunningly detailed retro-style pixel-art, coupled with modern atmospheric lighting and sumptuous visual effects, bring this unique cyberpunk world to life. Evocative music and sound design build layers of suspense and mystery, every step of the way.

Multiple Achievements and Collectable Elements
A variety of hilarious, exhilarating achievements are waiting to be uncovered as you explore a rich and detailed background story.
Hooked on collectors' fever? You won't want to miss this.

Rich and Varied Puzzle Design
Puzzles that will challenge your powers of logic, observation skills and patience! These challenges skillfully combine narrative and environmental elements designed to augment your journey in this weird and vibrant world.

Play as a Cat? Of Course!
Feeling lonely on this odd adventure? Take control of a special 'assistant': William the black cat. William can travel deeper into areas our detective can’t reach - often proving decisive in identifying and retrieving key evidence!

An Intriguing Dystopian World
If robots had their own god, what would it look like? And if they had the same rights as humans… would they betray us?
When there are no boundaries between flesh and machine… what is life?
This eccentric cyberpunk world holds all the answers…

Tales of the Neon Sea is an adventure game set in a futuristic cyberpunk world. The pleasant visual style coupled with a fairly interesting story and decent (if slightly confusing) puzzles make this a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There are also parts where you play as a little cat, so that's another reason to give a thumb up. For the most part, Tales of the Neon Sea delivers a satisfying mix of puzzle solving, collecting items and doing some detective work, with minimal amount of backtracking. However, later in chapter 3, there is a somewhat frustrating sequence of events that rely on good timing, followed by a timed puzzle. Also worth noting is that if you get killed by a drone (which, spoiler alert, is what happens if you time yourself incorrectly) while interacting with an object, there's a chance that your character will be unable to move. Fortunately, this doesn't last very long and chapter 4 again focuses on logic rather than timing.

This game is really cool, the gameplay is strange but not bad nut for me the main draw of this game is the stunningly beautiful pixel visuals. This game is a treat to look at and for me thats worth the price of admission.

One of the better games I've got from Humble, if it turns up in a bundle there's no need to be disappointed. Worth a few hours of anyone's time if they like pixel art style games.
