ROM, A Snatcher Inspired Cyberpunk Adventure

November 15th - via: cliqist.com
Today’s cyberpunk tale is called Read Only Memories and comes to us courtesy of Mid Boss Games and Matt Con; who happens to be the same guy that brought us the ground-breaking GaymerCon a couple months back. In ROM you play a crusty young journalist, that I have a feeling wears a trench coat, in a world full of ROMs, which are intelligent mobile technology devices. One day a friend of yours, who’s employed at the mysterious ROM manufacturer Parallax, leaves you a package with the company’s latest creation and proceeds to disappear. Being the 2064 Luddite that you are, you’ve never had much interest in having a ROM, but this one seems different. As you attempt to figure out what happened to your friend you’ll explore the streets of San Francisco, try and figure out what Parallax is up to, and maybe learn how to make your ROM stop flashing 12:00AM. (Read More)
