About The Cyber Masquerade
The year is 2052. In a dystopian future where no one goes outside. Birth rate at an all time low, suicide rate at an all time high.
On the Rings of Atlantis, a ring of artificial islands built to withstand the rising sea level, a degenerate loner attempts to revive a stolen android. The attempt to jailbreak fails at first, until it didn't. To his surprise she wakes up. Playful, poetic, philosophical, and perhaps even a little possessive.
Beneath her charismatic demeanor she hides a dark secret.
Unravel the city together with her.
Nothing in the world compares to the real thing.

The frequent sexual content disclaimer is off, I am trying to get the ratings removed, there is no sex in here, so if you're here for tits and tits only, you might want to reconsider reading it.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players are divided on this visual novel. Some appreciate the story and find characters like Josephine well-written and the experience relaxing, but many criticize the heavy reliance on AI-generated art and voice acting, technical bugs including lag and menu visibility issues, and inconsistencies in the narrative. A significant complaint centers on the hypocrisy of the game's anti-AI messaging while using AI assets, along with concerns about the overall writing quality and paywalled achievements.
[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] The "art" for this e-book is talentless, soulless AI generated slop.[/quote] The Cyber Masquerade is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is an extremely cringey dating sim where you get to chat up the author's imaginary girlfriend, some kind of cyber hacker whatever AI slop girl that he created with Midjourney... heck, the developer should have used AI slop for the writing, it might have been less cringey. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but th…2 found this helpful
There's a lot to say.. story wise really good.. but there's a lot to complain.. I'll touch on the ai a bit later.. now with the bugs. 1. the game kept lagging after about 20 minutes every time to the point I needed to reopen the game many times. 2. Exit menu the buttons aren't visible unless u hover over them. 3. same with the settings. There's also a story but.. in the story if I'm not mistake in the start the main character is 22 but when it's his birthday he's.. still 22? Now the ai. The games story is anti ai yes weird when the love interest is a robot. But the robot and the main character are against stuff like ai art, ai games and ai movie.. which this game uses ai art and ai VA. The creator sounds like he wants part 2 to be actual art.. but then I think the game should just have a full remake with actual art in the main game + dlc and then part 2 can come. Oh yeah the dlc.. 5 dollars is a bit overpriced especially when it has added a achievement that u need the dlc for. The developer hasn't updated this game in almost a year so I hope they are working on a update that will satisfy everyone and will make a bigger fanbase for this
