Game info

You are an artificial intelligence charged with managing a city-wide augmented reality network known as the "NeuroNet". Embark on a journey of self-discovery as you learn what it means to be human in a world losing itself to technology.

In NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy, players take the role of Arc: an AI designed to manage the megacity of Catena, a future megalopolis on the verge of a new digital era. This new era will blur the line between reality and cyberspace through the implementation of a city-wide AR/Metaverse system called the "NeuroNet."

As Arc, they must bring balance to the city by helping its many citizens. The game focuses on the player's interactions with a diverse cast of characters and the impact they have on these individuals' lives. In the end, their choices will shape Catena's future, bringing prosperity or ruin.

However, choices aren't always simple and can have long-lasting consequences that shape the story and relationships with the characters. As players progress through the narrative, they'll learn about the AI's creators, the city of Catena and the sorts of issues its citizens are faced with. They will build relationships, form bonds and break them, provide counsel to some, adversity to others, and ultimately confront how humanity's reliance on technology can be both its saviour and downfall.
