What it is about
HyperCity is a cyberpunk hack of Ironsworn.
Here's why it's cool:
Solo, Together: In HyperCity, you play the game solo but in the same world as a group of fellow players. Like shows such as Heroes, your characters are all stuck in different cities - but they can communicate through a lo-fi messageboard called SeekerNet.
Burning Questions: Instead of Iron Vows, HyperCity runs on Burning Questions. By framing and answering questions, you drive solo play that focuses on investigation and exploration of your city.
Alt-City: Rather than some generic "Asian" corporate dystopia, you play in a specific corporate dystopia that you developed based on real city that you want to explore or connect with.
The game is on Permanent Beta. It's a living game which is finished for now but might seem occasional development from time to time.
