V.Next takes place in 2035, in cyberpunk Seattle. It’s unique in that developer SyncBuildRun will be releasing a new episode weekly. V.Next will play more like an interactive television series than a game.

You’ll become Vivienne Denue, a former hacker with no past who wants revenge against those who have stolen her memories. To do so, she must relearn technical skills and remaster hardware and software. Once Vivienne understands who she is, she will become a beacon of hope in a world where technology and society can be overwhelming.

With its low-res graphics, V.Next pays homage to such novels as William Gibson’s Neuromancer and Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, and visually references such films as Blade Runner and The Matrix.

SyncBuildRun founder and CEO Paul Furio: “Our first priority is creating great episodic entertainment. We also want to embrace a progressive and inclusive attitude, and tell stories that feature diverse leading characters who are often overlooked by popular media.”

The first season of V.Next is planned for release in Spring 2016 and will feature 18 episodes as well as a pilot episode. It will launch on PC and Mac, followed by iOS and Android.

The Kickstarter campaign will run until July 31, 2015, with a base goal of $120,000.
