VirtuaVerse

“A cyberpunk point & click adventure set in a future not so far away narrating tales of technomancers, AR graffiti writers, hacker groups, tribes of cryptoshamans, digital archeology, epic cyberwars, and virtual reality debauchery.

“Nathan, an outsider still refusing to comply to the new system, is making a living off the grid as a smuggler of modded hardware and cracked software.  Geared up with his custom headset, he is among the few that can still switch AR off and see reality for what it is.”

John Wick Hex

A methodical turn-based strategy based on the characters of the movie and adding an unconnected chapter of the story before the start of the films.  Here’s about 20 minutes of gameplay from IGN to give you a feel for what the game is actually like.

I do really like the trailer, and I enjoyed editing it into a shorter loop.  However, I’ve come across a number of people that were confused about what type of game it is.  So if you are interested in an almost puzzle like John Wick experience then maybe this is for you, just do a little extra review research first. 🙃
