    Tech, Tension, and Tyranny: Mandated Fate First Public Demo Arrives August 17!

    As the Steam Cyberpunk Fest shines a bright neon spotlight on futuristic worlds and high-stakes dystopian adventures, gamers and narrative fans have even more reason to celebrate. Tetrarchy Studios has officially announced that the very first public demo for their highly anticipated title, Mandated Fate, will launch on August 17th!

    If you’ve been craving a fresh, atmospheric story where every decision carries weight, this upcoming drop promises your first hands-on look at a dark, intriguing future.

    What is Mandated Fate?

    Unlike typical fast-paced action shooters set in futuristic landscapes, Mandated Fate takes a psychological, choice-driven approach. Described as a narrative-driven social thriller, the game drops players into a world defined by control, social hierarchies, and moral ambiguity.

    Key elements players can look forward to exploring include:

    • High-Stakes Narrative Choices: Every decision impacts the political and social dynamics around you.
    • Deep Social Thriller Mechanics: Navigate complex interpersonal relationships, uncover cover-ups, and read between the lines in a society on the brink.
    • Immersive Dystopian Setting: A beautifully crafted world that fits right in alongside the themes showcased in the Steam Cyberpunk Fest.

    Mark Your Calendars: August 17th

    Tetrarchy Studios’ upcoming demo gives the public its very first playable look into the world they’ve built. Whether you’re a fan of deep story-rich RPGs, political suspense, or cyberpunk aesthetics, this limited look is designed to test your intuition and decision-making skills under pressure.

    How to Play: Head over to Steam starting August 17th to download the demo and experience the opening chapter of Mandated Fate for yourself.

    Will you follow the mandate, or push against the system? The choice will soon be yours.

    Paint the Town Neon: Retroware and Zenovia Interactive’s Neon Inferno Blazes Into Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest Today!

    Cyberpunk lovers and arcade action fans, unite! Steam’s highly anticipated Cyberpunk Fest has officially kicked off today at 10 a.m. PDT, delivering a week-long celebration of neon-drenched dystopias, futuristic gear, and gritty urban sprawl. Running through August 10, the event spotlights some of the finest sci-fi and dystopian titles in gaming—and leading the charge is the spectacularly stylish 2D run-’n-gun shooter, Neon Inferno!

    Published by Retroware and developed by NYC-based indie powerhouses Zenovia Interactive (the creators behind Steel Assault), Neon Inferno brings a fresh, adrenaline-fueled spin to classic arcade action. If you’ve been itching for a game that seamlessly blends high-octane nostalgia with slick modern mechanics, this title demands a spot on your Steam wishlist right now.

    What Is Neon Inferno?

    Set in a sprawling, war-torn New York City in the year 2055, Neon Inferno places you right in the crossfire of a brutal turf war. Criminal syndicates and a hopelessly corrupt NYPD fight for control of the metropolis. Playing as deadly assassins Angelo Morano or Mariana Vitti, you serve as the ultimate secret weapon for a fledgling crime family fighting for supremacy.

    Whether you’re battling through the battle-torn slums of the Bronx or infiltrating the fortified neon gardens of Inner Manhattan, every level delivers relentless, high-stakes action.

    Here is what makes Neon Inferno stand out from the crowd:

    • Foreground & Background Combat: Blending classic side-scrollers like Contra with gallery shooters like Wild Guns, Neon Inferno lets you target enemies in both the foreground and the background simultaneously.
    • Bullet Time & Projectile Parrying: Need to turn the tide in a fraction of a second? Slash incoming green enemy fire with your blade, trigger “Bullet Time,” and deflect deadly projectiles right back into enemy ranks across both layers of the battlefield.
    • Gorgeous 32-Bit Pixel Art: Dazzling neon signs, rain-slicked pavement, and hyper-detailed synth-fueled retro visuals create a breathtaking sci-fi atmosphere backed by an evocative cyberpunk soundtrack.
    • Two-Player Co-Op & Arcade Modes: Grab a friend for double the firepower, or test your ultimate grit in a classic 1-credit-clear Arcade Mode challenge.

    Gear Up for Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest

    Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest is the premier destination to discover discounts, demos, and showcases featuring advanced technology, cybernetic upgrades, and moody dystopian worlds.
