Her morality and background is explored through Camus, a dog automata personality loaded into her car, and the mysterious voice of Control.

Rania (the protagonist) is very human – she knows she just needs to get the job done, but she has a moral bedrock beneath it all. It can be quietly comical, or surprisingly poignant.

Sometimes you’ll get dragged into dangerous situations. Sometimes you’ll stop off for coffee or a quick meal. As you make your way to the target, you can take in stories from Nivalis’ colourful inhabitants – android street gangs sticking it to the man by planting trees, other lost souls like our heroine who came to this place simply because they had nowhere else left. Delivery requires you to get out of your vehicle and explore the city on foot, sometimes solving minor environmental puzzles to reach the destination. You’ll pick up a package and take it to the destination. The city looks just as good on foot as it does in motion. Nivalis stretches up high and plunges low, and by the time the story ends, you’ll have seen both of those extremes. It’s so easy to zone out navigating the incredible cyberpunk city ION LANDS have crafted, taking in the rain, the neon, the ambient sounds of an impossible metropolis. Nothing is as simple as it seems, and yet, at the same time, it’s only as complex as you want it to be. Just guidelines.Ĭloudpunk is all about the story, forming in bite-sized pieces as you hop from delivery to delivery. There are only two rules – don’t ask what’s in the package, and deliver it on time. I’ve already been involved in a bombing ( potentially), met a mad, ancient AI who may or may not be causing the city of Nivalis to collapse, and delivered pizza worth my monthly salary to a pineapple-hating CEO.
