Walk the city
Street vendors, a checkpoint sergeant, a busker who needs a crowd. Everyone has something to say: talk, ask, and a map that fills in as you go.
A city that never switches off, and a sewer full of things that bite.
NeonForge is a free, text-based cyberpunk multiplayer game. Talk your way through the streets, take jobs, chrome yourself up, and fight your way down into the dark.

What's down here
Fight in real time
Below the streets, the sewers get nastier the deeper you go: rats, roaches, rogue drones, gangs and gators. Size them up with consider, then kill or flee.
Chrome and leather
Armored jackets from the street tailor, guns from the arms dealer, and optics, reflex boosters and subdermal plating from the ripperdoc.
Take the job
Deliveries, favors, rat problems and stranger things. Finish jobs, level up, train your stats, and unlock the next one.
