Gamedec is the kind of game that calls back to a much simpler kind of RPG. You won’t find any creative combat systems or instances of killing god with the power of friendship here — this is much more akin to a point-and-click adventure game with loads of dialogue to get through. If you have a particular love of science fiction or cyberpunk in literary form, you’ll find plenty to enjoy here; if you’re into RPGs for crunching lots of numbers and fighting cool foes, you won’t find much. If you think Gamedec sounds like your kind of thing, we’d...

Gamedec offers a richly imagined sci-fi world to become familiar with. However, an intriguing premise of investigating crime in virtual space struggles under the pressure of overwhelming player freedom.

Imagine a future where game developers make house calls, no different than when you call a plumber to your home to check the pipes. These devs assess, diagnose, and fix problems with gaming chairs where people lay back, throw on a virtual reality headset, and transport to an entirely new plane of existence. This is the basic premise of Gamedec, a futuristic mystery novel infused with RPG elements that eschews combat for fact-gathering and puzzle solving. Mixing the world aesthetic of The Ascent

Gamedec is a fantastic point and click detective game that is only held back by small, fixable quality of life and balancing issues.

I’ve been waiting for the release of Gamedec, the top-down narrative Cyberpunk RPG since I played the demo at PAX Australia’s online event last year. I remember being intrigued by the games premise, its artistic graphics and its focus on the player making their own choices that actually matter throughout the gameplay. I’ve now spent a lot more time in this Cyberpunk world where you play as an online detective called, you guessed it, a Gamedec. While the premise is certainly interesting,...

Gamedec is a decision-based roleplaying game that spans both reality and the virtual world. Detective work is complicated enough in just one dimension, can players really be expected to navigate multiple worlds to crack the case? More importantly, is it even worth the effort?

The world and premise of Gamedec are very captivating. Those looking for a unique cyberpunk mystery will get a kick out of the twists and turns of the narrative. Just be prepared for odd or completely missing translations. Still, for most players, it would be best to add the game to their wishlist and wait for a decrease in price.

Underneath its flaws, Gamedec is a truly unique game that I could spend 30 more hours in.

Gamedec looks quite sharp, though it could use a bit more character art. The environments perfectly sell the feeling of being in a slimy but highly advanced future, while the character portraits give off a lot of personality for each character. I do wish that there were more portraits, as some of the seemingly important characters are stuck with generic darkened portraits. Otherwise, Gamedec is excellent at balancing various aesthetics while maintaining the same hard-boiled tone throughout the game’s length.

A weird story of transhumanism and criminals in a rebuilt futuristic Warsaw, Gamedec is an interactive detective novel that's more interesting than traditionally fun.

Gamedec is a cyberpunk RPG driven by its story and decisions. There’s no combat, just you using your crime-solving skills to progress. Every choice you make carries weight.

GameDec does right by the cyberpunk genre by using it as a backdrop to an excellent detective story. The series of virtual worlds makes for a diverse range of environments, filled with characters that all have their own unique characteristics and motivations. The lack of a fail state raises the stakes, and makes it important to learn the ins and outs of dialogue and deduction. Though some bugs and missing functionality can make it rough around the edges, GameDec is still an overall quite enjoyable experience.

Overall, Gamedec is an excellent attempt to do the impossible. Tabletop games are as popular as they are today because they can't be replicated anywhere else, but Gamedec comes as close as possible to making it a reality. I felt like my choices truly mattered, and that's not something that happens often in games. While some of the virtualias can feel a bit tedious, the overall narrative they serve makes the experience worth it.

Even with some refreshing concepts related to investigations, Gamedec stumbles owing to uninteresting plot points, bland characterization, unclear systems, and pesky bugs.
