Press release:
YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia – April 11, 2023.
The Bowling Green-based (Kentucky, the US) indie games publisher Hitcents and Yogyakarta-based (Indonesia) indie games developer Pendopo Creations, are today very happy and excited to announce that their 2.5D cyber-noir pixel art action-puzzle adventure game “RENDEZVOUS“, is now available for PC via Steam.

Step into the shoes of Setyo, a former criminal turned security technician as his sister becomes embroiled in one of the most treacherous cyber criminal groups. Travel through the grungy cities of Neo-Surabaya and Bay City as Setyo reckons with his dark past and attempts to prevent his sister from following in his footsteps.

Venture through multiple paths across Neo-Surabaya and Bay City to discover essential tools, powerful items, and hidden objects of interest vital to Setyo’s path to redemption and quest to rescue his sister. Experience an impactful story of love, grief, and absolution featuring stylized 2D pixel art and a 2.5D world with dynamic lighting that bring Setyo’s story to life.

Utilize Setyo’s criminal past to solve challenging puzzles, gather clues, and unravel long-hidden secrets. Face off against and take down brutal enemies in multiple ways, from assembling an arsenal of deadly weapons to taking a stealthier approach that avoids outright carnage.

“Rendezvous has always been a love letter to both our families and how technology can change the world around us,” said Puspa, CEO and Chairman of Pendopo Studios.

“We hope that Setyo’s story of redemption and love for his sister will inspire gamers of all generations to cherish their loved ones.”

Rendezvous launches on Steam for Windows PC today, for USD $12.99. It will support English and Indonesian languages.
