Lionbite, a Swedish indie group, brought out an interesting project: they announced a cyberpunk RPG called Rain of Reflections, which has been in development for two years by now. Quoting their press release: „This “story trailer” introduces the three main protagonists – Wilona, Dwennon, and Imra – each with a unique perspective on the events that unfold. The player controls each one consecutively, shaping a unique story through choices along their intersecting paths.
Wilona, part of the societal upper class, sheltered in the Stem, has faithfully been following in her father’s footsteps as a scientist, which has gotten her involved in experiments on human children. Dwennon is a private investigator drifting in the shadows of his past, retreated to one the city’s more rugged urban areas, called the Cluster. Imra is a prominent part of the Infrareds, a resistance group struggling against the oppression, holed up in a bunker referred to as the Root.
Rain of Reflections is an atmospheric, cyberpunk flavored role-playing game. Its turn-based strategic confrontations are uniquely centered around a morale mechanic. Every move and choice made by the player as the three different protagonists is permanent and will have consequences on the world and its characters.”
The game is going to launch on PC next year, „with additional platforms considered for a later release.”
