Developer Doublequote Studio has announced a story-driven RPG set in a cyberpunk version of Central Europe titled HeistGeist.
If you’re a fan of cyberpunk experiences – fortunately, no we don’t mean that trainwreck – and the wonderful continent of Europe, then you’re in for a treat with HeistGeist. This cleverly named video game is the latest title from the developers of the awarding-winning indie RPG, Blood Will Be Spilled. With the genre in dire need of a fresh new experience, it seems like this indie gem may be just the ticket fans have been looking for.

What Is HeistGeist?
HeistGeist is a cyberpunk RPG with card-based battles and stealth elements. This story-focused adventure sees you play as a thief named Alexandra who was double-crossed and must go on the run after a job goes horribly wrong. Now having to hide from her resentful client and some shady corporate assassins, she gathers a team and information as she prepares for her biggest heist yet. If that doesn’t sound blood-pumpingly exciting, then frankly we don’t know what does. You’ll be fighting guards and various other enemies with your deck of abilities and solving card-based puzzles in the cyberverse. Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be a cyberpunk game without a little hacking. Here’s a handy breakdown of some of what you can expect in this neon-lit RPG:
- Explore a cyberpunk world based on real locations in Central Europe
- Pull off some of the toughest heists with thrilling choices and devastating consequences
- Engross yourself in the twists and turns of its fully voice-acted narrative
- Kit your deck out with lots of awesome abilities
- Fight enemies in challenging card-based battles
- Hack into cyberspace with unique card-based hacking mechanics
