10 years, you ask? But surely this is only the second anniversary? And yes, it is true that this is the second anniversary of cyberpunkdreams' release on Steam, but I first started work on the game in 2013, using Failbetter Games' StoryNexus platform. My goal at the time was to have something playable within a month. I hit that goal and started inviting testers into the game from that time. A lot of the content I wrote in that first month is still in the game, including the opening lines. So, apart from a brief hiatus from when FBG shut down StoryNexus and my new engine was ready, cyberpunkdreams has had people in it and playing it for 10 years now. The initial beta on Steam opened in August 2020, and the game was released fully in May 2021 -- two years ago today! It's been quite a journey, and there's a long way to go yet. Luckily, I'm not anywhere near running out of steam. My only problem is far too many ideas to handle. As ever, stay tuned for more updates and more on the latest plans. And also as ever, thanks to everyone who's played the game and supported the project over the years. But now onto the important stuff.
Second anniversary event content
We've got a few things for you over the coming week:
- The much coveted Sinzil Crimson X phone will be back for less than 24 hours. Check Discord for the access code.
- The Akizowear Zone One phone will also be back and available via an access code for the week.
- Two unique stories; one from last year and one completely new one. Playing the game during the event will unlock these, but there's no time pressure to finish them.
- Some unique or rare items to find by exploring in game,
- Unique items and previews shared via access codes.
Unique stories
The first of these, The traitor you choose, was in the game last time. You need to have various criteria to start it; we won't spoil it. It'll auto-trigger when it's ready. The second, Deep Stacks, is new. You need to be renting a place in Eastside Stacks in the Projects to start it, and to be hanging out there. Both of these stories can have a lasting impact on your game, so make your decisions wisely.
Access codes
We'll be sharing a few throughout the week on our Discord server, which you can join here: https://discord.gg/cyberpunkdreams All the codes will require you to play during the event in order to activate them. We might also share a few on Steam, starting with the Zone One, in case you missed it last time: https://cyberpunkdreams.net/accesscode/zone-one-8kfh Once again, thanks again for all the fun and support over the years! rob & the cpd/ops team

cyberpunkdreams Linux [1.1 G]
cyberpunkdreams is an evolving text-based role-playing adventure with countless opportunities, and endless chances for destruction. Take on the role of a lone wanderer sent to the gates of 2090s Cincinnati. The dirt and grit from the badlands coats your clothes - with your memories torn from you, all you have is a weapon across your back and a mission to complete.
Enter a living, growing world, with new stories and other content each month, plus regular limited time events. You’ll always find new surprises waiting for you in Cinci's dark and dirty alleys.
Who will you become in this cesspool of a city? Will you play the games and climb to the top, or be forgotten amongst the march of time and tyranny?
Simple, uncompromising cyberpunk narrative
Enter a future grounded in reality: a world distorted by corporations and dominated by poverty. This is down to the bone cyberpunk, as raw as it gets. Experience just a turn of a corner away from our own, whether you're a genre expert or getting into cyberpunk for the first time.
Learn who you are through your actions & choices
Your abilities are intrinsically tied to your successes and failures. There are a multitude of ways to solve each problem you’ll encounter -- what you choose impacts not only your chances of making it out alive, but also how your character grows and experiences the world.
Choices have consequences, and the city remembers
Your choices aren’t detached from the lives of the people around you. Richly detailed NPCs will evolve on their own, remember and react to the alliances you announce, the mercy you give and the morals you stand by. If you’re looking for a true lesson of consequence, you’ve come to the right city.
Embrace yourself, flaws and all
cyberpunkdreams offers a highly customisable character creation system that continues throughout your entire time in Cincinnati. From your clothes and equipment, to your loadout and cybernetics, you are free to constantly upgrade and augment yourself however you choose... if you've got the cash.
With over 1.7 million words of content and updates at least once per month, you're in for one wild ride.
