NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy

NeuroNet is a fun (and rather timely) visual novel that lets you take on the role of a newly created AI. Your role is to help manage a city, tackling problems on both a macro and a micro level. Over time, your AI starts to develop something of a personality. Will you do what you can to meet the needs of the City, or will you focus on empowering the shady corporation that created you? Along the way you'll meet a lot of interesting characters and will be able to play a significant role in the direction their lives take. In a few instances, these characters will actually be at odds with each other, forcing you to make some tough decisions. The game is broken into 8 chapters, and throughout the game you'll encounter two types of events: 1. Standard events - these are related to managing a city, and mostly just alter the four metrics that are used to judge your performance (i.e. wealth accumulation, resident satisfaction, policing power, and your own intelligence/ capabilities). 2. Character story lines - These are lengthy side quests that span multiple chapters, and they're beating heart of the game. Alienate the characters, and you may get the chance to experience them. The game was a joy to play through, and I found the focus on cut throat corporate politics (with some of your corporate overlords turning on each other and forcing you to choose sides) to be pretty engaging stuff. I'd recommend this game to anyone who's a fan of visual novels, especially if you're a fan of dystopian sci-fi settings and good world building. Pros: +Absolutely beautiful visuals and solid voice acting. + A good mix of "city-management" based activities. You'll be doing everything from helping a homeless person find shelter for the night to thwarting terrorist attacks. + Several interesting moral dilemmas, some of which culminate in life or death situations. + Having your choices directly impact your stats makes the game more engaging than your average visual novel. Cons: - Mostly an illusion of choice. Your ability to define your AI is strangely limited - The ending is a bit of a downer, cliff-hanger ending. I don't know if there will ever be a sequel - There's no simple chapter selection option. The best you can do is rewind to the start of whatever chapter you're on Overall, this was a very solid game and one that deserved more attention than it ended up getting. I hope the developer keeps at it, because I'd love to see more from them.

I got this game on sale and I'm glad I did. It felt a lot longer than I was expecting it to be and played like a visual novel with a number of choices that did have small impacts on many aspects of the game. I don't expect to enjoy a second play through immediately after finishing my first, but I do think it'll be fun to replay a few months from now. I finished the game once and I'm still missing a couple of characters and locations, so I know there's definitely more content for me to discover within this game. As others have stated, I'm not a huge fan of the ending, but it wasn't as disappointing as I was expecting from reading the other reviews. The ending I got just felt like it was preparing a game two that doesn't exist. The things I did really enjoy about this game were that the characters were actually very interesting and had more personality and depth than I expected, I felt like I was able to choose what type of AI I wanted to be, the story unfolded in a gradual & satisfying way, and the voice acting was fantastic. If you enjoy casual conversational visual novels, this is a great game. The gameplay never feels boring, only somewhat repetitive (due to the style of gameplay), so it's a great game to play in bursts

Really liked this. Playing as an AI was neat, and I enjoyed the story overall. The visuals and VA were pretty cool too. It's a pity it's a bit of a chore to try and go for different endings, time wise. Otherwise no complains (besides an unfortunate bug with reseting the chapter, though that's being worked on atm afaik)

can i get a continuation? i always wonderd what it would be like to be an A.I like this and so this has my support

This game is all about decisions. There's moments of light, but you should expect a bleak world setting and a grim storyline. Saying more though would ruin the experience.

Good game. Sad the company just shut down.

This game was perhaps tailor made for me. It's beautiful art and emphasis on choice are what drew me in but unfortunately it wasn't to be. Likely due to the the game's creators going under, the game has not been maintained and a game breaking bug that can seemingly soft lock you out after seemingly any choice you click made this game unplayable. It occurred frequently and I could not find a good answer or solution to fixing it. I give this game a positive review because circumstances outside of the creators hands are what caused the issue. If there ever is a patch that fixes this I will readily return to playing it. For even the brief amount of time I got to play this game gave me much joy. Thank you Dream Harvest.

I really enjoyed the story, the art, and the characters. This is not your typical visual novel, and there are a ton of little choices that all seem to add up over time. I would gladly play a sequel if one is made.

Leggi la [url=https://www.tanadelcobra.com/neuronet-mendax-proxy-la-recensione/]recensione completa[/url] su [b]La Tana Del Cobra[/b]! ... Neuronet: Mendax Proxy aveva un ottimo potenziale di partenza, con la possibilità di presentare un mondo cyberpunk vivo e intenso o proporre il tema della gestione delle IA; invece il gioco si perde in una tediosa sequela di dialoghi di scarsissimo interesse e scelte che non sembrano realmente influenzare il gioco (e se lo fanno, il più delle volte non se ne ha la percezione). Su tutto, al giocatore non è dato modo di esprimere realmente le scelte che vorrebbe prendere; due sole opzioni di risposta per domanda, e spesso incanalate verso un’unica direzione, non aiutano affatto. Peccato; non è questo che ci aspettiamo da una storia realmente interattiva.
