In the year 2145, NeoCity stands as a testament to the relentless march of progress,
a sprawling metropolis where towering skyscrapers pierce the heavens,
their neon lights casting an ethereal glow upon the streets below.
This dystopian future is dominated by powerful corporations that have harnessed advanced technology,
blurring the boundaries between humanity and machinery. Citizens, seeking to enhance their abilities,
undergo cybernetic augmentations, inadvertently surrendering a piece of their autonomy in the process.
Some people still resist the allure of the cybernetic revolution, but they are a dying breed.
The city's heartbeat is its digital infrastructure, a vast network interconnecting every facet of life.
However, behind the facade of progress lies a dark secret. You play as Alex Mercer,
a self-made hacker looking for work. As you engage in the never-ending search for work,
you will have the opportunity to break the law, make the law, and everything in between.
Welcome to NeoCity, and good luck.
