About the Game

Failure. A dead end job. Commodification of talent. Aimlessly wandering.

These are the fates of four child heroes that used their psychic abilities to save New York City from invaders, calamities and ne'er-do-wellers alike. Over time, the four grew apart. And moved on with their lives.

As adults, they’ve left their hero days behind. Working dead end jobs, pursuing goals and dreams, making up for past mistakes. Like most pushing 30, their childhood adventures were over.

Until one fateful night brings them back together. Mysterious drones explode over the city sending glowing, radioactive debris down to earth. Knocking out communications, causing wild animal attacks and mutating local residents. The 4 band together again to track down the pieces of the puzzle and stop an otherworldly being from raining havoc on New York- and maybe- the world??

In this turn based, action adventure RPG, fight enemies, solve puzzles and explore New York. Explore several different neighborhoods and boroughs to rescue your friends. Fight quirky, hand drawn enemies based on New York themed animals, residents and cryptids using weapons and psychic attacks. Find the mysterious "Space Rocks" and uncover the secrets of what looms about the city skyline.
