Evaluation
Cyber City 2157: The Visual Novel launched on May 4, 2016 as a self-contained visual novel with a defined scope: over 4 hours of reading content, 150 background images, and 40 songs. The store description presents the game as a complete, finished product with no mention of future updates, DLC, or ongoing development. Following launch, the developer made only a few minor posts: a Linux version was added on May 22, 2016, an English translation fix on May 16, 2016, and Spanish and Chinese translations were added on June 12, 2017. No major content updates, expansions, or announcements have been made at any point, and the last developer communication of any kind was on June 12, 2017. There is no DLC listed on the store. This game launched as a finished product and has received only minor maintenance since then.

About this game
You wake up looking at the cell and trying to remember a dream you have seen last night. There are only vague memories in your head - It was something connected with the cosmos and with the frightened astronaut's face. You have no time to think - you have to go to the work. There you create a perfect simulations of a human, called Molds.
So your journey through the parks, cemeteries, suburbs and dreams begins. Your adventure is in the City where the sun never sets.
It's a surreal mix of classical visual novels, odd choices, cyberpunk, mysticism and everyday life of a man lost in a rapidly changing reality.
You'll see the game, inspired by the numerous arthouse films, postmodern literature and dreams that come closer to dawn.
This game is the memory of the games that have never existed.
Features:
- 150 background images, some of them are animated, made in the old-school pixel art
