The new free Steam game in question is Cherry Picker and Jungle Game Lab’s cyberpunk adventure game, D1AL-ogue. In it, you play an android repair technician in an unnamed cyberpunk city where the sun never rises. Your job is to fix not just their broken bodies, but their broken hearts through conversation. In addition to this, there is a puzzle element to the game that ties into the repair process. In short, its a cyberpunk visual novel with match3 puzzle gameplay, and again, it is apparently pretty great.
“The Fact That It Is Free Is Amazing”
As you can see in the trailer above, the game has a vibe and aesthetic very similar to 2016 indie hit, VA-11-Hall-A. And according to user reviews, the only complaint is that the game isn’t longer, an understandable shortcoming given that it is completely free.
“I dont usually play visual novel style games, but the oldschool art immediately pulled me in.” reads the top user review. “You repair ‘eves’ by merging modules while listening to their stories, which is surprisingly fascinating. The artwork is excellent throughout.”
Another user review adds: “I feel like I should’ve paid for this wonderful experience.” Another user review further adds: “This game is well made, and worthy of being a $15 game. The fact that it is free is amazing.”
