About cyberpunkdreams

✦ AI summary

Navigate a sprawling, lawless 2090s Cincinnati with over 3 million words of evolving content, where your choices permanently shape NPCs and the world around you through a daily Action Point system designed for long-term play. Create and transform your character however you want—customize gender, body modifications, sexuality, and presentation—while experiencing gritty, uncompromising cyberpunk storytelling where violence, poverty, romance, and consequence are all yours to define.

The city is spread before you, horizon to horizon, a vast sore squatting on the world. 24 million people, most of it lawless slum and favela. The last outpost of civilisation on the edge of the badlands. One of the most relevant, cosmopolitan cities in the world. Is it any wonder you ended up here?
cyberpunkdreams is an evolving text-based life-sim with countless opportunities and endless chances for creation and destruction. Take on the role of a lone wanderer sent to the gates of 2090s Cincinnati. The dirt and grit from the badlands coats your clothes -- with your memories torn from you, all you have is a weapon across your back and a mission to complete. Enter a living, growing world, with over 3.1 million words of content and over 3,000 unique pieces of hand-drawn artwork, Experience new stories and other content each and every month, plus regular limited time events. You’ll always find new surprises waiting for you in Cinci's dark and dirty alleys. Who will you become in this cesspool of a city? Will you play the games and climb to the top, or be forgotten amongst the march of time and tyranny?

Every action counts cyberpunkdreams is designed to be played in short bursts over the long term. You have a limited number of Action Points to use every real life day, and any number of ways you can use them. Draw from your decks and risk reward or injury. Stick to safer places to rest, recuperate and work on your skills, or work with your inventory to prepare for the next hustle. Events can unfold over days, weeks or even months. You can also store Action Points for later use, using breathers, hit the binge button for extended play sessions and discover new ways to hack and manipulate the system. The Action Point system establishes pacing in an brutal setting where any mistake could cost your life, as well as enabling the development team to keep creating stories every month, maintaining the game as free-to-play and always giving you more to discover. cyberpunkdreams has been in continuous development since 2013, with no plans for slowing down.So ease yourself in for one long, wild ride. cyberpunkdreams is a living game that will be updated with new content for years to come. Uncompromising cyberpunk narrative Enter a future grounded in reality: a world distorted by corporations and dominated by poverty. This is down to the bone cyberpunk, as raw as it gets: violent, gritty and sexual... if you want it to be. Experience a world just a turn of a corner away from our own. Be ready for hard, bitter choices. Be ready to carve out your niche with whatever it takes, be it blood, love and everything in between. Learn who you are through your actions & choices Your abilities are intrinsically tied to your successes and failures. There are a multitude of ways to solve each problem you’ll encounter – what you choose impacts not only your chances of making it out alive, but also how your character grows and experiences the world. Who needs romance when you have hard banging? cyberpunkdreams offers everything from long term partnerships to dirty alleyway hook-ups. Experience the sleaze of slums sex work, the buzz of Interstate or the dark pleasures of the Projects. Be in charge or be under someone's heel. The choices are endless – including to opt out completely, if that's your preference.
Probably the most gender-friendly game of all timeWhat would cyberpunk be without the ability to transform your body to match who you really are? To be who you really are? cyberpunkdreams features many ways to modify your physical form, as well as an incredibly detailed gender system. You've got you physical sex, then your true gender, including a wide range of choices such as demigender or flexible, then what you're currently presenting as, then what you're most commonly known as in each location in the game, all of which can evolve over time. And all these choices matter. The  people around you will react to you differently depending on who you are.Choices have consequences, and the city remembers Your choices aren’t detached from the lives of the people around you. Richly detailed NPCs will evolve on their own, remember and react to the alliances you create, the mercy you give and the morals you stand by. If you’re looking for a true lesson of consequence, you’ve come to the right city. Be ready for people who don't care about you, or care about you too much. People who will revel in your choices, or hate them.
Embrace yourself, flaws and all cyberpunkdreams offers highly customisable character creation that continues throughout your entire time in Cincinnati. Become who you want to be. Occupy your skin in any way you choose. Gender, sexuality, cybernetics, mutations, clothing and equipment all combine to create a fluid system with any number of possibilities. Choose not just what you do but why you do it. Respond to the things that happen to you with glee or bitter remorse, and choose which of these inner feelings to share with the NPCs who are close to you.

[b] This is pretty much Fallen London but Cyberpunk and that's FANTASTIC [/b] (also kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at the same time because of the action-point system, but then again the dev is one guy, does good work, and has the right to make money somehow lol). It's immensely atmospheric and its everything I honestly ever wanted, a crime life-sim text RPG (if you play it that way, that is). Only "problem" with it is rather both slow to get into and slow to get developed (again, due to it just being one guy doing almost everything but thats just how it is). However, I would not recommend it for people who legitimately hates that 00's-esque browser MMO energy bar feature, as while the game is meant to be enjoyed in short bursts few times a day/week, there is A LOT OF CONTENT and many opportunities to screw up narratively or even die. And if you are especially sucked in by the incredible writing and immersion like me you're gonna develop a love/hate relationship with it. (Unimportant Rambling) Obviously this game is still at an early stage, but a big personal selfish gripe for me is that at the current time of writing, there is still isn't much to do in terms of doing work or jobs that actually p…

This game, if you love roleplay and reading, is one of the most interesting and in depth games I've played. I could not recommend it enough to the point where the things I get frustrated with become things I love. The difficulty can be unforgiving but you get a grace period for each character. You're going to die. You're going to die a few times before you get to the guts of the game. As Specially if you choose to be a mutant... (you can be a vampire, cannibal, or spliced human with animal genes all with their own upsides and downsides as a mutant) If you have the balls and stick to it this will easily become one of your favorite games (I have bought credits)

This game has been a constant companion of mine for the past half a year and it’ll remain so for the foreseeable future. I cannot recommend it enough. The stories are compelling, the writing is superb, the world is intriguing and puts its own spin on the cyberpunk genre. The community around this game is just plain awesome and the official discord is bustling with activity. To top it all of, the development of the game is steady and new content is added regularly. Know what you are getting into however: This is a text-based game. It’s not a game with reading, its an interactive story with any action, drama and emotion solely packed into letters. Expect to play across many sessions. You’re not going to pull one or two All-Nighters and have seen it all. This game is a marathon, not a sprint.

Look. This game is very distinctly not for everyone. It takes a very specific kind of freak to resonate with what Cyberpunk Dreams brings to the table. That being an old, OLD, school text based rpg with an energy mechanic straight out of Facebook games from the 2010s. This game is more cynical than even me and deeper than the damn ocean for what you expect when you hear "Text RPG" Your hand is not held, events are designed to only be seen after you've played the game for months if not years. The achievement for getting a character to day 600 isn't just some Challenge meant only for the most hardcore players. It's the way the game is designed to be played. Course there's also an achievement for dying nine times so... Give it a try, if you like it? Live fast. But not too fast. You only get 6 action points an hour after all.
