A lot can happen in 10 years. It was 10 years ago that the seeds which would blossom into cyberpunkdreams began to take root, and while the game itself has only been on Steam for the last two years, theres 10 years of work behind this increasingly ambitious adventure. Indeed, the opening lines of the game remain intact a decade later.
Its been one hell of a journey and theres still plenty of ground left to cover. Were never likely to run out of ideas to keep the engines burning. And with that out of the way, lets get cracking, shall we?
May updates
Our second anniversary event content dropped at the start of the month, including the return of the event story from last year. The traitor you choose is an engaging story that can and will have a lasting impact on your game. Theres various criteria youll need to meet to trigger it but play for long enough and you should get to experience this fan favourite tale.
Along with the return of this story, there was a new one for this anniversary Deep stacks. Similarly to The traitor you choose, your decisions through this one can have a lasting impact on your game. To go along with this story, we added more content to Eastside Stacks (the name of the new story should be a giveaway of where it mostly happens) and a new location to discover in the Projects plus a couple of new NPCs, but thats a different story.
If you played the game during the anniversary but havent seen or finished either of these stories yet, then fear not: theyre unlocked for you now, and youll be able to play them as and when you meet the starting criteria.
We also introduced a deeper dive into the world of the citys black clinics. These are the clinics that pop up and disappear without leaving a trace and allow players to indulge in some more creative medical work. Until now, they were always seen as little more than cheaper alternatives to the backstreet clinic, but now weve expanded the lore to give you all more of a taste of how this slice of the economy works in the world.
Theres also been a broad range of other updates, including:
- Tweaks to the war mechanics
- Quality of life improvements for pimps
- More of Alessandras story
- Buying drugs from local dealers
Call & Response As well as all the regular activity in our Discord server, we host a bi-weekly (or so) writing prompt called Call & Response. We post a question or discussion topic, and youre free to respond however you want. When each round closes, we reward the best and most creative responses with unique access codes. Recent prompts have included:
- You've only ever had the chance to explore the lower levels of the Project -- both literally and in terms of their gang hierarchy. You've heard rumours about what lies above, but you can really only speculate
- What's your favourite urban legend about Cinci's slums? And is it really just a legend, or is there a grain of truth in there too?
- Are you originally from Cinci? Has the organisation that's running you inadvertently sent you back to your old stomping ground? Or deliberately? Or would all that be total madness?
- Jax goes to great lengths to keep himself hidden, even though his presence in Cinci's slums is an open secret to many. But is it really necessary? Do the corporations really care that much about one rogue researcher? And if they do, why?
Feel free to join us in our discord server or on Twitter, where were always active with little snippets from the cpd universe. Until next time!

- 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.
