Unfortunately, my experience with FORECLOSED was no very good, starting with a bug that would not let the game work for several days, even after the game’s launch, after it somehow started to work, I sort of wished it still hadn’t.

Though the overall look of the game is supposed to be a “Comic” look, it’s just unappealing texture-wise. The change in views can

Merge Games Unveils Cyberpunk Shooter ‘Foreclosed’

Merge Games and Antab Studio have announced that they’re working on an upcoming shooter game that combines the neon-lit aesthetics of a cyberpunk world and the folding pages of a comic book. Inspired by the Deux Ex and Max Payne games along with Frank Miller’s graphic novel Hard Boiled comes the third-person shooter Foreclosed. In Foreclosed, players will take on the role of Evan Kapnos who has had their identity “Foreclosed”, which is like identity theft BUT the person now no longer exists. Face with this, Evan now must fight against the dehumanizing bureaucracy that took his identity before his identity and his cybernetic implants are auctioned off! Foreclosed will visually appear as a graphic novel with interactive cutscenes and smooth transitions making loading feel like it’s not there. Foreclosed is currently in development and is expected to be coming in 2021 to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
