Riot (WIP game concept)

In a cyberpunk near future, Sen (player name: Riot) is an underground pit fighter. Riot is analogue in a digital jungle—80s punk spirit in rusted armor. While others sync with sleek tech, they fight raw: with a cracked gauntlet that shocks both them and the enemy, flame-proof scrap gear, and a mission to break the system, not win it.

In what initially seems to be a classic ‘AI takes over the world’ storyline, the robots rule in this city. However, we learn that mankind is not as easily squashed as those AI might think. Riot inadvertently (and very reluctantly) becomes the representative for the working class, attempting to broker a comradery with the very corporations who got them into this mess in the first place. Riot is not much of a talker, but they are a fighter, and those big wigs do so love a good bet.
