Soft Source Publishing and developer Arrowiz have announced Mato Fragments, a new prequel to their 2023 mystery adventure game Mato Anomalies.
Mato Fragments is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and will launch sometime later in 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
You are a photo shop owner moonlighting as an informant in the vibrant, but dangerous streets of Neo City. After harboring a strange fugitive, your skills as an informant are put to the test, as the fate of the entire city rests in your hands.
As a prelude to the Mato series storyline, Mato Fragments introduces the origin of Neo City, a stylish metropolis, populated by different cultures, timelines and technologies. However, a plot lurks in the scheming depths of the city that threatens to overthrow the fragile peace of the city.
As a growing plot that threatens the city looms on the horizon, you have to leverage gathered intelligence carefully and timely, and create a domino effect that will lead to the salvation of Neo City.
