The Neurochemical Conjob

⠀

‎

The perfect retro modernesque anti-stress that you didn't know that you needed it. And it is free!

Steam is drowning in thousands of lazy, low-effort top-down console reject shooters, and "The Neurochemical Conjob" is yet another one. I'm not kidding, there's over 6,000 of these on Steam, and almost all of them are garbage, amateur kitbashes. This is not one of the good ones. This is a simplistic and pointless single screen arena shooter where you control some "Agent" and shoot your negative emotions. I don't understand what this has to do with confidence scams... heck, this barely has anything to do with gaming, it really is junk. This is a tired, outdated experience from a tired, outdated and obsolete game genre. Just a couple of top-down shooters out of literally thousands have any appeal for gamers lately (Hotline Miami, etc), and I'd argue against those having much value for gamers. This is so much worse. This "me too" Steam Direct shooter in a crowded genre offers nothing new. It's "free", but [i]free[/i] doesn't mean [i]good.[/i] This feels more like a tech demo or a project smacked together hurriedly to try make a kind of minimum viable product just good enough to pass the developers unambitious idea and shove it into Steam Direct to see if you can actually pay $10…

Relatively simple shooter with a leaderboard. Nothing fancy, but it's pretty enjoyable overall. You can pick up a variety of weapons as you play. Keyboard + mouse is recommended by me, as I found playing with a controller to be a bit slower with aiming.
