About this gameFull description from Steam
Take a stand against ruthless corporate overlords in this narrative-driven adventure! Within the perpetually war-torn metropolis of Promethea, you'll control Anu, Octavio, and Fran on the worst day of their lives. Help these three lovable losers as they endeavor to change the world (and maybe even save it)! Face down a planetary invasion, vicious vault monster, and cold-hearted capitalist in this cinematic thrill ride where what happens next is up to you! Meet a motley cast full of misfits, assassin bots, and talking guns in this race to the top! It's time to fight back against exploitation and corporate greed. It's time to make Mayhem your business. THE UNDERDOG STORY OF THREE LOVABLE NOBODIES Decide the fates of altruistic scientist Anu, her ambitious, "streetwise" brother Octavio, and the fierce, frogurt-slinging Fran. With nothing left to lose and everything to gain, you'll claw and con your way through this thrilling five-part story full of gun-toting goons, otherworldly beasts, and delicious tacos. AN EXTRAORDINARY CINEMATIC ADVENTURE The Borderlands aren't just home to Vault Hunters, psychos, and weapons-corp CEOs—they're full of downtrodden, intrepid civilians just trying to get by. With a host of returning and fresh faces, including an assassin bot with comedic aspirations and a less-murderous-than-usual bandit, this unforgettable tale is sure to delight fans new and old. YOUR CHOICES SHAPE THE OUTCOME The decisions you make determine how your story ends. Whether it's Anu's vision of a universe that markets more than weapons, Octavio's dreams of fame and fortune, or Fran's frosty plot for revenge—their success or failure depends on you.
Content & age ratingsSteam content notice · 10 regional ratings

Content notice

Mature content in this game is displayed in a variety of ways. From shooting other characters resulting in blood and gore spurting out, to characters losing limbs or being decapitated, to characters morphing into obscene monsters, and characters shooting themselves or inflicting self-harm. The context of self-harm occurring due to depression from a character is not present and the self-harm is only used for comedic effect given the context of the scene, however those who are sensitive to this topic should be aware of such scenes.
