First of all, watch this trailer below; the game looks amazing. The art style and color is perfect, and this thing looks like a joy to play, especially since you can be a cat. You heard me right. Tales of the Neon Sea takes place in the near future, where humans and sentient AI robots rely on each other for survival despite growing tensions between the two "species". The games "hero", for lack of a better term, is formerly a veteran police detective who is now retired after years of frustration and disillusionment. He's your classic, jaded, retired cop, who spends his days intoxicated while accepting random jobs as a private investigator to make ends meet. He exists within the neon sea of an immense city, its blinding artificial lights not quite able to hide the shadow of greed and lust that threatens to engulf it at any moment.
This drunken cycle is broken when the hero becomes entangled in a murder case, one which holds the key to tracking down a monstrous killer who long ago escaped justice. You have to help the good (ex) detective unlock his memories, decode the truth, and fight against the ever expanding conspiracy that is gripping the city.
