Introducing Cyberlich
In the bustling world of indie games, where countless first-person shooters vie for your attention, one title is already making a splash: Cyberlich and the Death Cult of Labor. Despite having just a brief 30-second YouTube teaser and a Steam page, this upcoming gem from Polyhedra Games has managed to capture the imagination of many gamers, including myself.
Art Style that Packs a Punch
The standout feature of Cyberlich is undoubtedly its knockout cartoony art style. You can sense a vibrant energy reminiscent of Adult Swim’s classic shows. It’s like seeing a collaboration between Genndy Tartakovsky and a frantic dream. Inspired by the likes of *Pizza Tower* and *Fallen Aces*, the visuals present a unique charm that contrasts with many dull, forgettable shooters.
The Wacky World of Gameplay
What can we expect gameplay-wise? Cyberlich embraces a colossal, extraneous HUD reminiscent of exhilarating ’90s classics. Picture huge mechanical displays obscuring your view while your hacker-barbarian protagonist juggles a weapon in one hand and healing items—which are delightfully ludicrous burgers and oversized blunts—in the other. The humor is ripe for either brilliance or disaster; let’s hope it’s the former. With a cheeky nod to iconic moments like Tom from *Tom and Jerry*, Cyberlich teeters on the edge of genuine laugh-out-loud moments. As development rolls on, the charm and wit we hope to see can only enhance what already looks like a colorful and chaotic adventure.
While we await a demo or release window, fans eager to follow Polyhedra’s progress can support the game by wishlisting it on Steam. Who knows? This quirky shooter could bring the cleverness and humor that games of this ilk desperately need, avoiding the cringe that could easily flank it.
