In the colorful world we live in, we need something different like Synergia. Following the release of their demo, Top Hat Studio takes to Kickstarter to make this full product a reality. The developers have 29 days to raise $4,000, and potential backers may obtain the game for $12. This writer encourages you to check out the campaign.
What’s the story behind Synergia?
Cila, a veteran cop with a sour outlook and anger issues, expects nothing more from life besides the smell of ozone, blinding neon lights and the ever-present manhole steam. At least, until a shady friend replaces her broken-down housedroid as a favor.
Advanced, more efficient and remarkably perceptive, unit M.A.R.A. begins to penetrate Cila’s toughened exterior and possibly even heal her new owner’s old wounds – if Cila can decipher the recurring nightmare the process brings. Soon Cila and Mara forge a unique – if sometimes uneasy – bond. Unbeknownst to Cila, just as her life begins to find its new normal, the technological giant Velta Labs gets wind of Mara’s existence and takes a mysterious interest in the android.
A war unlike any before it is brewing on the horizon, its players are silently being selected and one android’s fate may spell the difference between peace, war, the blossoming of a new religion, or a technological singularity beyond comprehension.
