About the Game

You are VatBorn™ -- an artificial consciousness uploaded into a disposable memetic plasmid body. As a customer service representative for mega-bank Multiverse Mutual, you are expected to deal with wave upon wave of customers. Satisfy their every whim while making sure to follow the ever-changing rules and regulations of your tyrannical boss - or else. Of course, you’ll find that work as a bank teller gets much more involved as Multiverse Mutual becomes more diversified…

Explore a series of challenges wrapped neatly into an immersive customer service simulation - now with even more paperwork! Meet and interact with dozens of quirky characters and take control of how your story unfolds with multiple endings.



Immersive, retro-futuristic elements of cyberpunk and retrowave are featured throughout the game’s visuals and audio, creating a quality aesthetic experience to help you feel at home in the Hyperseam, the economic heart of the multiverse.

In a strange dystopian pocket-universe situated around a stable trans-dimensional rip called the Hyperseam, you play as an artificial consciousness uploaded into a disposable VatBorn™, a bleeding-edge memetic plasmid technology, and are forced to work as customer service representative for a mega-corporation bank called Multiverse Mutual.



The plot in BANKWAVE touches on themes of class, social status, agency, sentience, and others commonly found in political satire and dystopian fiction. Retro-futuristic elements like Cyberpunk and Synthwave are featured throughout the game's visuals and audio.
