Press release:
Developer Radi Art and publisher Top Hat Studios are today very excited and happy to announce that their cyberpunk Yuri thriller VN game “Synergia” is now available via Steam.

Synergia is a yuri thriller visual novel that takes place in a cyberpunk future, wrapped up in a beautifully unique, vibrant neon aesthetic.

The release of Synergia is possible thanks to the overwhelming support of the Kickstarter campaign, where it reached almost 400% of the initial goal. It brought a total of $15.5K funds to aid the development process, which was a massive help to the sole creator of the game, and proof that the genre is still attractive to the players.

The game is available for $11.99 USD/9.99 EUR on Steam starting today with an additional 10% discount for the first week. Other major platforms, including Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, will follow later this year.

Story

Cila, a veteran cop with a sour outlook and anger issues expects nothing more from life besides the smell of ozone, blinding neon lights and the ever-present manhole steam. At least, until a shady friend replaces her broken-down housedroid as a favor.

Advanced, more efficient and remarkably perceptive, unit M.A.R.A. begins to penetrate Cila’s toughened exterior and possibly even heal her new owner’s old wounds – if Cila can decipher the recurring nightmare the process brings.

Soon Cila and Mara forge a unique – if sometimes uneasy – bond. Unbeknownst to Cila, just as her life begins to find its new normal, the technological giant Velta Labs gets wind of Mara’s existence and takes a mysterious interest in the android.

A war unlike any before it is brewing on the horizon, its players are silently being selected and one android’s fate may spell the difference between peace, war, the blossoming of a new religion, or a technological singularity beyond comprehension.
