Forehead Chip

Forehead Chip is a sci-fi cyberpunk pixel-art platformer set in the middle of Arca City, a fracturing utopia. You’ve joined the Implant Corps to restore order by capturing vile Holdouts. Capture the most and you win!

It’s all about maintaining order. And it’s your job to capture Holdouts. So you need to know the drill:
Manage your supply of implant bullets in tactical combat

Don’t destroy your enemies - capture them

Wield a variety of distinctively controlled weapons

Fuse your ammo by injecting logic capsules that affect their behaviour

Don’t forget to ask your Sergeant and Commander for tips

Play as young Chip, a recruit in the Implant Corps. Prove your worth to your friends and family by winning the coveted, one-of-a-kind implant: the Forehead Chip. Explore city locations, interact with characters across the societal divide, and pick your choices to determine the future of Arca City. Conquer and dominate... or is there another path? There are multiple endings to unlock and the Forehead Chip is up for grabs. Will you get it, or will someone else?

Tight, tuned, responsive controls

50+ types of enemies to fight and capture

Four different districts to dropship into

Unlock new abilities and game modes
