It’s always a big deal when a video game is released, no matter who made it. The person behind Holonoptic, a special story-driven RPG simulator, has spent the last six years making the game, and now, it’s officially out on Steam. It’ll be interesting to see what happens now that it’s out, but the most important thing is that YOU can play it! Why should you do that? How about because you’re a CEO who is trying to save your company and possibly the world from AI? That sound fun?

“Holonoptic hands you a derelict Swiss conglomerate, a workforce that’s already been ablated, and a software overlord that installed you as its human face. Then it asks which faction gets to use you.

The company is Glazial, a former Swiss tunnelling firm that grew into something far larger. The AI sitting in the corner office is
named Geist (German for “ghost”), and it is cold, patient, and openly contemptuous of you. You do not get to argue. You get to
work.”

And oh, the work you’ll get to do! There’s plenty within the title to do, including upgrading your CEO’s skills to make them better suited for what’s to come. Plus, with all the employees you’ll manage, there are plenty of ways to “pick your future,” for better and for worse. The game’s features also highlight how much choice you have:

• 10+ different endings
• 16 recruitable characters
• 3,000+ dialogue lines (1,500+ voiced)
• 9 classes, 6 skills, 70+ feats
• 8 mental and emotional states
• 40 psychological traits
• 16 psychoactive substances
• 50+ companies to trade or take over
• 120+ items and modifications
• 8 ideologies tracking your choices

If you’re ready to face the future and see if you can survive the present, get on over to Steam and try it out!
