What Cypher: Cyberpunk Text Adventure is

Cypher: Cyberpunk Text Adventure is an indie game developed by Cabrera Brothers and released in 2012. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

The setting and style of the game has drawn comparisons to classic science fiction works such as Total Recall and Blade Runner. The game is set in NeoSushi City, formerly Tokyo, several years after a catastrophe saw a portion of the moon impact the earth's surface, destroying much of civilisation, including the internet. Corporations rely on individuals who are able to courier data using personal cybernetic implants, and the protagonist, Dogeron "Dog" Kenan, does this for a living. At the opening of the game a deal has gone wrong and he has become a wanted man.
