Another quick update: Neofeud has it's first update that implements a bunch of fixes to makes for a smoother, better gaming experience! Here's the full post:"Hey cyberpunks, humanoids, Neofeudal lords and ladies! Thanks for your support of Neofeud! In response to your feedback, I've fixed and patched up several of Neofeud's important issues. This latest update should smooth out and make for a better overall game experience. To try out this update beta, simply: 1.) Right click on "Neofeud" in your Steam Library. 2.) Click on "Properties". 3.) Click on the "Betas" tab. 4.) Chose to opt in to the beta in the drop-down box. I would greatly appreciate feedback on this update, so that I can ensure it improves the game for all systems and is stable. Help me make Neofeud the best game it can be! Bug Fixes - The Arcade Fight scene is now clearer, and less unnecessarily difficult and confusing. Getting away from the bar is simpler, and there's more time to handle the escape when being shot at by the SWAT behind the Kill Machine arcade game. -Fixed the bug where you would get stuck in the arm screen if you use it during fight with Talos. -Fixed bug where in the elevator (when you are with the security guards), if you click out of the elevator through the exit option, you could get stuck, and have to reload a previous save state to get out of it. -Can no longer save the game from the start menu which would overwrite your progress. -Fixed error message in High City, after 'giant spider area' 'in "room42.asc", line 326 Error:Face Character: characters are in different rooms' -Fixed issue where 'firing your big object' in the High City office at the wrong time caused problems. -Fixed issue where, while following the robot girl, if you get out of range before she appears, the game will crash trying to load two savestates at the same time -Various typos cleaned, bugs squashed, wrinkles ironed. Thanks for all of your support and help! -Silver Spook"

Ana- there are a couple of scenes with some action, but it is basically just a timed point-and-click puzzle. These sections of the game are similar to parts of Gemini Rue (by Wadjet Eye Games). Having played this excellent game I can confirm that apart from one scene which was a little tricky & easier than in Gemini Rue (which an update I understand has made easier) there is a dearth of action scenes! There's probably no more than a couple of gentle timed events which are very doable even if you are lacking in reflexes! It's a wonderful point & click game set in the future with a lot of 'social message' relevant to current events & the way the world is. If you are a fan of the point & click style of the 'old classics' you may enjoy this game - if you're not sure there's a demo available!

Neofeud is now 25% off for the Halloween Steam Sale, if you’re more inclined to have Neofeud on Steam! (I hadn’t intended the two sales to be so close but being new to Steam, I didn’t realize there was a Halloween sale, oops!)

Here's another recent review that just came in for Neofeud: Neofeud is a dystopian cyberpunk adventure that needs to be experienced. [...]
When we think of a cyberpunk dystopia we imagine a world controlled by robots or an evil AI, and a place where humans are in the down low, trying to survive day by day in the gutter. What happens when someone turns these tropes to their head and this world is filled with discarded androids that live in slums, drug addicted and oppressed by multi billion neofeudal corporations? Neofeud, a cyberpunk point and click adventure created by Christian Miller offers an answer to this question. [...]
An adventure that will offer you many hours of play and it will make you think about our world and where it is heading. Not many indie games do that, and it is really important. Hyper Light Up

Hey guys! So I have recently had the pleasure of talking to Mark Yohalem, writer of the Wadjet Eye point-and-click adventure game Primordia for my podcast, which does involve talking about Neofeud and the state adventure games generally speaking. https://i.imgur.com/0xNoyuG.jpghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqiAvh0p81A&t=3407s"In this episode, Silver Spook speaks with Mark Yohalem, writer of Primordia, a legendary sci-fi point-and-click adventure game and a big inspiration behind Neofeud. Mark and yours truly discuss the State of Adventure Games which somewhat resembles that of Schrodinger's Cat (never quite alive or dead!), Primordia and the making thereof, Mark's exciting new 'mythological, mid-apocalypse RPG' in development with Wormwood Studios, some insider game-dev shop-talk, Unity vs Adventure Game Studio pros and cons, Mark's and my favorite cyberpunk, the difference between depressing and melancholy, the psychological selling-points of post-apocalypses, why appellate lawyers may be cannibal shishkebabs in said apocalypse, and much more!"

Thanks, Ana! Two more days to vote, if anyone was still thinking about it. Also here's a recent review of Neofeud, and I wish I was fluent in Spanish so I could read what the reviewer is saying in their native language. But thank you, Google Translate! "A much more complex world than what is shown in Blade Runner, which inspired it, and this game also poses itself as a more in-depth and realistic reflection of the dilemma insinuated by the replicants."
"From the point of view of music and dubbing Neofeud has nothing to envy of major titles."
"Neofeud is an old-fashioned point-and-click, which really reminded me of Space Quest in setting and graphics. The story takes place in a hypothetical 2033, where artificial self-conscious intelligences are now reality. Self-awareness, however, has consequences, first of all the affirmation as an individual and, as such, with rights and desires. This involves a whole new slice of society trying to integrate into the already existing human one. War veterans, domestic workers, workers, each with a different level of consciousness, which determines their rights. Just one percentage point to finish at the same level as vacuum cleaners, while experiencing real emotions and sensations."
"If you are not captured by the story of the protagonist, it will be the game world that will intrigue you and push you to explore each scene and dialogue from beginning to end." The reviewer also compared Neofeud with Neil Blomkamp and District 9, which is a high complement for me, since I consider D-9 as one of if not the greatest sci-fi films of the past few decades. https://nerdando.com/2017/12/04/neofeud-unavventura-cyberpunk-profonda-e-retro/

So The Space Quest Historian is currently doing a playthrough of Neofeud. It was also featured on Funhaus, a pretty big (1.3 million subscriber) Youtube channel, by Rooster Teeth productions. That was pretty cool! And also, an endorsement from Wormwood Studios, maker of Primordia: "Neofeud is an interesting game, and @SilvrSpookGames is an even more interesting person." Primordia is one of my favorite point and clicks, so that means a lot! <3 <3 Neofeud is also still on sale on Steam till January 6. :)
