A downloadable distressed

Be in charge of Xen's life and experience what it means to work and live in a dystopian cyberpunk future where capitalism and ignorance have swallowed the sun. Work. Play. Sleep. Repeat. The mode of existence of a future that might have already come.



It is 2068, and our world has been sucked into all-encompassing neon darkness. The sun no longer rises above the vast cities of this earth. Still, life continues; it pulses and thrives. Powered by the pathetic existences of the lowest of lowest, our planet remains to turn around itself. 



Xen is one of the many workers in District 9. A former prisoner who is given a last chance to live a normal life and contribute to the stability of society. Work. Play. Sleep. Repeat. This is the mantra of the 21st century, and all have to follow its calling.
