Overview
Description

Alien Virus is a classic 1995 point-and-click adventure game developed by Trecision S.p.A. and published by Softgold Computerspiele GmbH. Players step into the shoes of pilot Joshua Stone, who arrives at Station Zeus after a month in hyperspace only to discover the entire space station completely devoid of life. Navigate through eerie, deserted corridors, solve intricate puzzles, and piece together the dark mystery behind the empty station. Blending science fiction and horror elements, the game delivers an atmospheric single-player experience steeped in suspense and classic graphical adventure mechanics.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action-adventure game set in Night City, a sprawling metropolis driven by power, glamour, and body modification. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw in pursuit of a unique implant that holds the key to immortality, navigating a world where mega-corporations operate above the law. In a gritty future defined by cyberware, violent crime, and extreme poverty, your choices directly influence both the narrative and the world around you. Experience deep role-playing customization of skills, cybernetics, and playstyle as you carve your own legend in the streets of Night City.
