Rarendipity Games, a newcomer in immersive gaming, proudly announces Carpe Neon, a 3D adventure game set in a gritty and witty cyberpunk world. Players assume the role of Ace Diamond, a cyborg detective, in the dystopian open-world city of Neopolis, drenched in neon.

Ace serves as a Detective-Contractor (DeCon) for the Neopolis Police Department, while also struggling with drug addiction. Accompanying him is Paige Turner, a non-corporeal AI partner who appears as a 3D hologram. During their investigations, Paige offers vital information, support, and a touch of sass. The DeCon division functions similarly to an HMO insurance company, where detectives bid on cases through an eBay-like platform, with the lowest bid winning. All cases must be solved within the agreed-upon budget, and additional expenses require approval from in-network experts. Ace also takes on extra jobs to repay his substantial gambling debts, ranging from private security to finding lost dogs or photographing cheating spouses.

The cases that come across Ace's desk at the NPD span from corrupt politicians to homeless murders. Killer robots, religious fanatics, and street gangs are all part of everyday life in the bustling city. As a DeCon, you have the freedom to choose which crimes to investigate, which suspects to interrogate, and what research to conduct. Ace navigates the world of hacking into systems, employing bribery and deception to uncover the truth, and engaging in intense shootouts and thrilling car chases. He even employs stealth and parkour techniques to avoid detection on his better days. Depending on the path you take, you may hold the power to determine the fate of the entire city.

Neopolis 2084 presents a stunning yet dystopian nightmare. Political corruption runs rampant, spanning from the luxurious high-rises of SkyTop to the slums of Toxic Bay's Heap. Due to the polar ice cap melting three decades ago, the beachfront faces constant flooding. However, a regulation requiring waterfront buildings to be fortified with waterproof walls, doors, and windows has been the city's one saving grace. This creates a high-tech appearance resembling spaceship corridors for lower floors, while preventing further decay caused by high tides. Eerie lights emanate from below the waterline, visible through thick watertight glass. Despite these precautions, tides ranging from 15 to 20 feet continue to transform numerous roads into rivers and buildings into isolated islands on a daily basis.
