Today Wadjet Eye Games reveals another glimpse of the upcoming adventure Technobabylon (http://www.technobabylon-game.com) with a teaser video featuring Latha Sesame, one of the cyberpunk thriller’s three playable characters.
Releasing for PC this spring, Technobabylon takes place in a dystopian cyberpunk future where genetic engineering is the norm, the addictive Trance has replaced almost any need for human interaction, and an omnipresent AI named Central powers the city. Its all-seeing CEL police force keeps tabs on everyone — including three people whose lives are about to get complicated.
One of them, Latha Sesame, is a jobless agoraphobe more comfortable in cyberspace than the outside world. When she unwittingly becomes an assassination target, she’s forced to face the dangers of “meatspace” and survive a fate that has invisibly ruled her entire life.

History
Technobabylon started out as a series of 8 planned freeware episodes (of which 3 were released) by indie developer James Dearden. With help from Wadjet Eye Games (creator of the Blackwell mystery games, publisher of Gemini Rue), Technobabylon’s story and gameplay have been revamped for its commercial release. The game will also feature new pixel art by Ben Chandler and professional voice acting, and player feedback from the freeware episodes has been integrated.
