Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. It’s the near future, and the world has been ravaged by some sort of nuclear disaster. Mutants are roaming the streets and as the protagonist in this story you’re left to fend for yourself in this bleak, ruinous environment. Oh, and you’ve also got to save the world from certain destruction. Or further destruction, as it were. After all, you’re roaming a wasteland.
Sound familiar? Well how about this, this post-nuclear setting is actually a lush, green, postcard-like environment filled with the sort of rundown buildings and exposed piping that belong in a Russian science-fiction film from the ‘70s.
The protagonist you control goes by the unlikely name of Paradigm; he’s the product of failed genetic engineering, and not what you would call a looker. He loves electronic music, making beats, and dreams of one day of becoming an electronic music superstar. He lives inside an abandoned power station, his only friend is a computer who’s obsessed with online dating, and right outside his doorstep lives a sentient eggplant that beatboxes so well you can understand why he’s got a sign offering up fresh beats for $5 a pop.
