Indie developer Finish Line Games has announced Robots at Midnight, a new action RPG with a “cassette futurism” aesthetic (a zoomer term for 70s to 90s early PC hardware).
Robots at Midnight is in development for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store) and Xbox Series X|S, though a release date wasn’t announced.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Robots at Midnight is an Action-RPG with intense combat, colossal monsters, and satirical robots set in a narrative-driven and expansive Cassette Futurist world. Built as a luxury destination now in ruins, the planet of Yob is now unforgiving. Overrun with dangerous inhabitants, Yob will be a challenge for any human to endure. Learn the secrets of your family, and this world, to uncover the corruption that lies within.
