Game description
Neon Fables is a cyberpunk-inspired narrative-driven adventure set in a sprawling, neon-lit city. Players step into the shoes of Alex, a curious investigator unraveling a series of mysterious disappearances tied to a hidden underworld of secrets. Armed with only clues like cryptic letters and haunting photographs, Alex must navigate the streets, talk to intriguing NPCs, and piece together the truth. Each choice shapes the story, leading to different endings as the player uncovers the enigmatic past of the elusive Elysia.

With a blend of observation, decision-making, and dialogue, Neon Fables challenges players to decode the city's dark secrets. Will you uncover the truth or remain in the shadows?

Theme interpretation
The theme of Neon Fables—cyberpunk mystery—shaped the game's narrative, setting, and mechanics. It created a dystopian city filled with secrets and corruption, where the player unravels a mystery through clue observation and NPC interactions. The story revolves around uncovering hidden truths, with multiple endings based on player choices, reflecting themes of deception, rebellion, and the search for truth in a high-tech world. The cyberpunk aesthetic and focus on choices influenced the gameplay, creating an immersive, interactive experience.

Not a bad job overall! The dialogue controls felt a bit odd at first, but the options menu explained everything well. The artwork is beautiful, and the music is great, though I felt it could use more sound effects to enhance the atmosphere.

Nice art and story! As constructive feedback; it would be great if you could close or restart the game once you find the (No spoiler) "secret" :)
