Code.Breaker()

Code.Breaker() is a cyberpunk visual novel about technology, crime, and trying to survive in a world ruled by corporations.

Setting

2083, Free City-State of Seattle. Augmentations are commonplace, most people at least having a brain-computer interface chipped in. Sentient Androids live amongst the population, together with genetically modified humans and cybernetically enhanced people.
The corporations fight with other corporations over their bottom line, both figuratively and literally, making it a hotspot for so-called “Ronin”. These “Ronin” are modern-day mercenaries doing the dirty work for anyone who can pay them, most of the time corporations.

Story

You take the role of a hacker working for Akiyama CyberTech as a “Network Security Expert”. Your job is to keep the Seattle branch office safe from outside intrusion and the network security of the building in shape. It’s a mostly ceremonial position to fulfill legally required human quotas, which you only got through nepotism.
In truth you were born without citizenship in the slums of Redmond and honed your skills in the underground hacking scene.

One day, you get an email from an anonymous sender who knows your secret, threatening the life you've built up.
Now it's up to you to take back control!
