Cybervoid

About Cybervoid

Cybervoid is a sci-fi RPG with point-and-click exploration, set in the subterranean city of Umbral. Developed by Nanomega Studio and released on PC in March 2026, it blends narrative choice with resource management. You play a scientist tasked with assessing the city’s fate, balancing energy and time to uncover secrets while navigating ethical dilemmas. The story hinges on decisions that shape outcomes, whether you prioritize exploration, restoration, or destruction. With a single-player focus and indie-studio polish, it’s a game about consequence and quiet tension in a world on the brink.

Gameplay

You navigate Umbral by clicking to move and interact, with each action draining energy or time. The city’s environments, abandoned labs, dormant robot stations, and eerie silicon lifeforms, require careful planning. Exploration is non-linear but constrained by resource limits; revisiting areas later can unlock new paths. Choices range from repairing systems to sabotaging them, with branching consequences that affect endings. The interface keeps track of energy, time, and mission objectives, forcing you to weigh short-term gains against long-term survival. Combat is rare, replaced by environmental puzzles and moral trade-offs. Each session feels like a puzzle box of cause and effect, with no second chances.

What Players Think

PlayPile data shows Cybervoid holds an 82% critic rating and 85% user score. Average playthroughs last 12 hours, but 30% of players complete the game, suggesting steep difficulty. Community moods split between “thought-provoking” (45%) and “frustrating” (22%). Review snippets praise the “morally gray storytelling” but criticize “clunky UI.” Critics highlight the 12 unique endings, though 40% of players hit dead ends due to resource mismanagement. The game’s 40 achievements require 1200 average points, with the most common milestone being “Discover All Hidden Logs” at 18% completion rate.

PlayPile's Take

Cybervoid is worth playing if you enjoy slow-burn sci-fi narratives and tough trade-offs. At $29.99, it offers dense storytelling but demands patience, its resource system can feel punishing. Achievements add replayability, though 70% of players never unlock more than half. It’s not a game for quick fixes; expect to replay sections for different outcomes. Best for fans of narrative-driven adventures like Oxenfree or Life is Strange, but be ready to grapple with its pacing and occasional technical hiccups. The ending payoff justifies the grind for 1 in 3 players who finish.

Storyline

Deep underground, the advanced city of Umbral lies in silence. Strange silicon lifeforms stir in the depths, dormant robots await the call of their long-slumbering masters, and a lone scientist remains trapped—waiting for help. Tasked with a mission to determine Umbral’s fate before time runs out, with limited energy, every decision counts. Will you explore, restore, or destroy?
