Black Future '88 is a Synth-Punk roguelike 2D action Shooter.
Vertically climb an always evolving procedural tower to reach the
top and kill its insane owner...before your heart explodes. Shoot,
slash, dash and upgrade yourself to survive the endless waves of
deadly traps, homicidal AI and colossal Wardens standing in your
way in a stylish alternative version of 1988.
The world is reeling from a nuclear cataclysm, created by Duncan,
the tower architect. The First of his bombs fell in the summer of
1988, and by December they had blacked-out the sun with endless
rain. We decided to stop keeping time after this, and it's been
1988 ever since. Everything that lived through the initial attack
will die in the extreme floods that followed. These are the times
after, where there are no more months, or even weeks...everything
is measured in minutes left to live.
Take on the mantle of one of the last remaining misfit survivors,
and fight your way to the top of the tower to kill the architect
and stop the endless nuclear rain. Ascend to die, and die to
survive.
