Overview
Description

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.

Return of the Tentacle: Prologue continues the classic LucasArts adventure two years after Day of the Tentacle. Bernard, Laverne, and Hoagie reunite to stop Purple Tentacle's new world‑conquering scheme by hopping through time once more. The game blends retro point‑and‑click mechanics with fresh puzzles, witty dialogue, and hand‑drawn visuals, delivering a nostalgic yet original experience for fans of the original series.
