AdverCity is a unique approach on the classic cyberpunk/dystopian fiction. Instead of putting you in the shoes of a ragtag bunch of teenagers and or rebels that are fighting an oppressive government, military force, religious group, and so on – it puts you into the suit of a cyberpunk advertising tycoon who is vying for total control over a city’s advertising space.

The game came to be from a recent Cyberpunk Game Jam, and it was apparently liked so much that the team at U.K. developer Voxel Storm decided to take their project to Kickstarter and hopefully make it into a real game. The core mechanics of the game were written in just over a week, and it is now moving into full development with plans to release on PC, Mac, and Linux.

While the game itself looks a bit bare bones, the concepts are definitely intriguing. Voxel Storm is planning to implement Oculus Rift support because hey, why not have a true cyberspace experience, just like the writers of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s envisioned? If you want to pledge to AdverCity, head on over to their Kickstarter campaign.
