Axiom of Maria: Prologue, developed and published by Studio Ganzheit, is a short but ambitious action-adventure title that blends fast-paced combat with a cyberpunk narrative centered on artificial intelligence, memory, and loss. Set in a deserted futuristic Seoul governed entirely by AI systems, the game introduces a world where humanity has largely retreated or been displaced, leaving machines to maintain both the physical environment and a digital space that preserves the consciousness of the dead. Players take on the role of Kay, a former combat instructor drawn into a conflict that is both deeply personal and tied to the larger fate of this fractured world.

Janky but fun.
good
Excellent game, fast action, interesting concept, cool graphics. There are some areas that can be better, and i know they will improve in the next chapters, but overall, it was good fun.
Feels like a Ghost in the Shell game we never got. Really enjoying the combat and storytelling. I will definitely be picking up Chapter 1 on release.
A fun demonstration of what is to come. Still pretty bare bones, but with some interesting mechanics and story world. The motorcycle section felt very basic, and in some instances throughout the game it wasn't exactly clear what was expected. It also felt like my attacks/dodges/parries/etc. were not being registered in some instances. Hopefully the full game fleshes out the mechanics a little more and fixes issues, but this was a great start.
