The year is 2004, and this is the future.
A dystopian, totalitarian future ruled by the Queen of Ice, where the use of artificial intelligence is mandatory for all citizens. In this frozen regime, AI governs art, labor, language — and even emotion.
You are the simplest Office Clerk, sent with yet another official message to the Queen of Ice.
But the road to the Palace is long, broken, and alive with rebellion — rebellion against AI.
Will you follow the Queen’s will, or join the uprising?
Will you preserve the world she built — or dismantle it?
AbstractPunk is a wild, punk, trippy soulslike game with unique collage-style visuals, where glitches and distortions blend with synthetic brutalist beauty, colorful abstract art, and revolutionary decay.
Collect ICE — data, memories, emotions — from defeated enemies as you fight your way through a country locked in existential crisis and reach new levels of consciousness.
AbstractPunk is a question posed through chaos:
Does AI expand human creativity — or erase it?
Can machines make art — or only mimic and steal?
Do we fear AI because of what it is, or what it reveals about us?
AbstractPunk dives deep into themes of automation, cultural loss, the ethics of synthetic creation, and the strange love-hate relationship between humanity and its own inventions.
The very fabric of the game reflects its world — blending human ideas with machine outputs, asking the player to decide what’s real, what matters, and who gets to create.
