About Born Punk
A former combat hacker, a corporate CEO and a malfunctioning android get possessed by mysterious, otherworldly entities and must band together to save themselves and uncover the entities' origins. Talk, puzzle and explore your way through this (often humorous) cyberpunk thriller.
Bornholm. Today, a quaint island in the Baltic Sea. In 2155, a sprawling metropolis able to compete with major world powers. Thanks to the Space Elevator, a technological marvel built by Bornholm's corporate consortium, The Conglomerate, few nations on the planet are more influential both in industrial matters and space exploration.
In Born Punk, the player slips into the role of three people (well, two people, depending on your stance on artificial lifeforms) living on the island: Eevi, a corporate combat hacker turned bartender down on her luck; Mariposa, the CEO of Bornholm's biggest corporation; and a malfunctioning android who calls himself Grandmaster Flashdrive.
The three characters have one thing in common: they all, one after another, get possessed by strange entities of unknown origin and even less known intentions. They must work together - and sometimes against each other - to find out of the nature of those beings, what they want, and why they seem to think that their 'mission' is of vital importance for the future of humanity.
Key features:
- A classic point-and-click adventure experience: we're very proud to feature our own distinct style, but we are also definitely 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 a streamlined, modern approach to game design
- Movement everywhere: you won't feel like you're walking through a still life painting; Born Punk's world is alive and full of animation, soundscapes and small details to discover
- Choices and consequences: often, it's possible to approach dialogues and puzzles from different angles. As a result, interactions and dialogues with other characters, the difficulty to overcome certain obstacles, and the results of many actions will vary greatly depending on what the player chooses to do
- Full voice-overs: every character in Born Punk and every line is voiced by professional voice actors. Yes, that includes the cat.
- 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 create a genuine and emotional cyberpunk/sci-fi soundtrack 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 a slew of background info to read and experience, all of which becomes available in your PDA as you interact with the game world. Sometimes, in-game lore will also serve as an optional gameplay mechanic.

Game stopping bug that still hasn't been fixed in three years. Mediocre too.1 found this helpful
Game crashed after 3 hours of gameplay on my second session. I commited the grave crime of *checks notes* "saving the game in the third slot". No autosave, not even when you change screens. Alright, uninstalls forever, i'm not doing all that again.
Well, quite funny and interesting.. but the end.. feels to rushed. All the (extensive) lore and stuff feels wasted in a way. Still funny enough for the money, but it feels like something is missing at the end.
A really fun, dramatic, and funny point-and-click. I loved the story and the music, overall a really good game.
Actually re-installed Steam for this lol, friend (hey TieE) recommended this because I used to be a PC gamer back then. Nice so far. I like the art style, really good voiceovers and the main character is charming (haven't seen the others yet though). I'm 2 or 3 hours in and I've still only seen three rooms so far. Maybe I'm being slow, but the puzzles so far seem a bit hard. There was one glitch where pressing escape would softlock me and had to load an autosave. I'll update when I get to play a bit more.
EDIT: Ah, I learnt that I had to click on one save slot, then click on "Save game" on the right side of the menu during gameplay. It was nice to see various activites when I got up on the roof. The guitar hero, the boxing guy, etc. and nice to see an active spaceship station. So far the game is enticing and I'm looking forward to play more. The UI is not so user-friendly, but I think I'll be better at it with time. Hi, so far the game is great. But I am not able to save. I tried F4 or Esc, then Save game, but nothing happens. I tried F5, and Quicksave was completed, but I am not able to resume from that quicksave. I tried Load game afterwards, but it was not possible to load any games, because it was not saved? Can it be fixed?
