CYBRLICH and the Death Cult of Labor

[This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead or undead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.] A storm rains overhead. In the heart of the city is a sprawling panoptic tower, the realm of LICHCORP, the world’s reigning megacorporation. In the catacombs beneath is the living tomb and throneroom of the mad CYBRLICH, an undead hyperdictator. Are you bad enough to carve through his minions and bring an end to his iron-fisted reign? Or will you join in the chorus of his undead dirge? Either way, his stock is about to plummet. CYBRLICH AND THE DEATH CVLT OF LABOR is a first-person shooter / boomer shooter in the style of classics of the genre such as DOOM as well as recent entries such as UltraKill. It is fashioned in a unique hand-drawn, animated 2.5D perspective, featuring the animation work of Peter Larson Schmidt, with programming from Clipper Arnold and Eric Knittel. The player assumes the role of a buff, meat-headed barbarian hacker who takes on an evil CYBRLICH and his horde of minions in a satirical game about the horrors of corporate culture, capitalism, and shitty jobs. The player’s goal is to traverse the CYBRLICH’s labyrinthine corporate headquarters, making use of various weapons and utility items: * An “Employee of the Month” sword * A blood ritual-powered revolver * An explosive Mountain Dew™ bottle * An infinite supply of deepweed for restoring your mental health * Demon burgers to heal your physical health). The game will feature an array of bosses, cutscenes, and small puzzles for players to solve. Frenzied, comedic, cartoonish animations in the irreverent style of an Adult Swim cartoon pair with maximalist game design choices for over-the-top action.
