About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
The year is 2073. Almost everyone is fitted with a neural "Chip," an all-in-one interface for banking, identification and hardware connectivity.In a world where your thoughts are recorded to the chips, there are no secrets—only data waiting to be decrypted.
Step into the neon-soaked streets of Vesper City as Richard Apocryphal, a hard-boiled detective caught in a web of conspiracy. Beside you is E.M.R.S, an advanced Android companion whose logic is your only shield against a city that wants you dead.
INVESTIGATE THE IMPOSSIBLE
The chips were supposed to be humanity's greatest evolution, but it’s become the ultimate weapon. Navigate a series of brutal homicides where the rules have been blurred by those who want control. In Project:Z3R0, your success or failure in an investigation doesn't just end the case; it determines the survival of the city itself.
MAN, MACHINE, AND THE MASTER PROGRAM
While you treat E.M.R.S. as a sentient ally, the world around you sees her as a threat—or a puppet. Looming over every street corner is I.R.I.S, the government’s master AI program. Designed to manage every Android in existence, I.R.I.S. is the invisible hand guiding society forward, the unseen master of everyday life.
