  • Summary: Gamedec is an adaptive cyberpunk RPG. As a private detective, it's your job to solve crimes inside virtual worlds. What decisions will you make in a world where child slavery is a F2P game, where murder over a game-clan dispute is an every-day reality? Who will you become in the XXII century?

    Gamedec has plenty of rough edges, but thanks to its emphasis on choice and consequence mechanics and its unique premise, it's still very much worth a look.

    Doesn't use its setting as well as it should have; Overarching plot doesn't come together very well; Codex is a bit of a mess.

    Thoughts-
    Gamedec might not be a giant of the genre, and it might not touch the heights of something like Disco Elysium, but it’s a solid enough game in its own right. Its unique setting and fascinating premise set it apart from the crowd, and even though it doesn’t dive deep into those elements in the way it could (and probably should) have, it does at least use them to deliver a varied and vibrant adventure. Its focus on actual choice and consequence mechanics also serves it very well, and the story that you concoct based on your actions and decisions really does feel like one that is your own. It’s a deeply reactive game, and even if it is a little rough around the edges, and even though it doesn’t fully utilize its ideas the way it should have, it’s got enough working in its favour to make it worth a try at the very least, especially for genre fans.
