Press release:
BEIJING – 4.30.2019 – ZODIAC INTERACTIVE – From the award-winning Chinese indie dev team Palm Pioneer, the pixel-art cyberpunk neo noir detective adventure game “Tales of the Neon Sea” is out now for PC via Steam.

The game is priced at $16.99 (13.99 EUR), currently 10% off for the launch week, supporting English, Simplified Chinese, German and Spanish. French and Japanese will be added in the next update.

In the near future, humans and sentient AI robots rely on each other for survival despite growing tensions and unease.

Our protagonist, formerly a veteran police detective but now retired following years of frustration and disillusionment, spends his days intoxicated while accepting random jobs as a private investigator to make ends meet.

He exists within the neon sea of an immense city, its blinding artificial lights unable to hide the shadow of greed and lust that threatens to engulf it at any moment.

This drunken cycle is broken when our hero becomes entangled in a murder case, one which holds the key to tracking down a monstrous killer who long ago escaped justice.

Unlock your memories, decode the truth, and resist drowning in the wave of conspiracy that grips the city!

Features:

Fascinating Story – Investigate the murder scene, examine the evidence, and use your powers of deduction to solve the case piece by piece. Once the mist is cleared, will you see the truth or uncover an even bigger mystery?

Play as a Cat? Of Course! – Step into the shoes, or furry paws, of William! As small black street cat, William can reach areas that humans and robots simply cannot, and often finds himself in the right place at the right time!
