Sebastian arrives in the city of Dorisburg for his first job and a fresh start. As he meets residents, including hackers and activists, he finds friendships and possible romance amid a conflict involving the people who rule the city.
Explore Dorisburg’s isometric streets and buildings, talk with its inhabitants, and follow the story at your own pace. The city’s everyday places and objects provide opportunities to investigate and interact as Sebastian settles into his new life.
An in-world programming system lets you modify computers and other objects to overcome obstacles. You learn how it works with help from characters, then experiment with different solutions and create tools of your own.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unusual programming-based approach, the freedom to experiment, and the satisfaction of discovering how Dorisburg works. Its distinctive visuals and music also leave a strong impression for some. Others find the opening confusing, the story slight or brief, and the experience difficult to navigate.
