About the Game



NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy is a narrative-driven city management game where you must balance the needs and wants of its many citizens in order to determine the fate of a post-cyberpunk city on the verge of a new digital era.

Using a simple swipe left or right interface, you’ll face 1000s of dilemmas where there are no right or wrong answers, only your evolving moral compass to guide the way as you try to find your humanity in a world losing theirs to technology.


You are a newly created A.I. designed to manage the city of Catena. As you tackle the demands of the populace you will be challenged to balance their needs against your own moral compass. How will you decide who to help when the effect of every choice you make ripples out across the city? Choose wisely, your decisions impact the outcome of the story and the future of Catena.




As your influence spreads across the city you will encounter new characters in need of your help. As you learn who they are, their motivations and beliefs, you will have to decide which direction to guide them in. Your choices have the power to alter the course of their lives, for better or for worse.




View the impact of your actions with city-wide reports that detail not only the choices you’ve taken but how the city evolves based on your decisions. The city’s inhabitants will change their views towards you: will you make a difference in their lives, or bring it all crumbling down?




The line between right and wrong will blur as you make decisions that are tested against a torrent of demands. Can you win over those who see you as a threat, or will you choose to fight them? Who are you truly serving: the citizens that depend on you or the people that built you? Shape the story with your decisions and uncover the truth.




  • Branching Narrative: A ‘Reigns’ inspired branching narrative where player choice directly impacts the story, with some outcomes benefiting the citizens of Catena and others benefitting someone else...
  • Quick Decisions: Characters pose problems that offer quick-fire decisions, but they are deceptively simple and have far-reaching repercussions. Good instincts are required to make the right choice at the right time.
  • Choices That Matter: See the impact of every choice you make as your influence spreads across the city. Analyse reports and read the social media feeds of the population to observe the effects. Throughout the overarching story, your decisions will change the path and decide the outcome.
  • Diverse Cast: Meet and build relationships with 23 diverse and fully voiced characters. Guide each one on their journey as they face the tough challenges life in Catena presents.
  • Compelling Events: Over 5000 story events to experience, each offering choices that affect the characters you meet.
  • Rich Lore: Explore the world of Catena through an expansive digital Codex packed with deep lore, engaging characters, and stunning cyberpunk environments.

If I had written this before I got to the end, I might have been more enthusiastic. But then I found out there's a well-known bug that causes the chapter Reset button to corrupt your save and soft lock your game from

This is supposed to be a game about choices, and only 20 minutes in encountered a loop where I was literally told that my choices (which BTW weren't an "incorrect" way of handling a specific situation, but rather

Futuristic VN + immersive + interesting story/characters = Top quality VN. You are the newly developed AI making impactful choices between the city's various needs. Addictive and also great voicing. Follow our curator

I really enjoyed the story, the art, and the characters. This is not your typical visual novel, and there are a ton of little choices that all seem to add up over time. I would gladly play a sequel if one is made.

The engineering is good: the mechanics, the framework, etc. The voice acting is very good. The story - it's confusing. I liked the side stories, especially the grill guy and the police guy. However, some of the side

Was enjoying it well enough until I started to run into a repeated issue. After some scenes the game would not load the next scenario. Quitting to main menu and loading back in seemed to fix it, just with the annoyance
