Corporations don't need violence anymore — they have scanners, rank systems, and the quiet threat of being locked out. In Synapse City, your emotional score determines everything. Where you live. What doors open. Whether you make it through the night. You are a former Synapse engineer who knows exactly how the machine works. That doesn't mean you know how to survive it. Trust the wrong people. Feel too much in the wrong direction — and the city will notice. Rely on emotional stimulants, dangerous connections, and whatever's left of your instincts to keep your score above zero. Steal forbidden code. Let someone get close enough to matter. In Synapse City, desire is just another thing the system can use against you — and sometimes the only thing keeping you sane. --- Navigate a cyberpunk city where your emotional state is your currency — and your liability Build relationships that affect your rank, your safety, and your sense of self Hack, steal, and make choices with no clean outcomes — every decision shapes who you become Manage stress, loneliness, poverty, and desire in a system designed to use all of it against you Uncover the truth behind the city's control — and decide what to do with it How it ends depends on who you trusted, what you felt, and who — if anyone — you choose to stay with
