Like its Nintendo Switch version, the special edition on Xbox includes the original game released on PC, Macro DLC, and some improvements and additional modes.
The protagonist as a delivery man for Tauranga Transport in Tauranga, New Zealand, lives in a very ordinary but crisis-filled daily life, capturing moments in this hopeless future world. Fighters flew overhead, enemies invaded daily life, gunshots rang out, soldiers were wounded, giant robots were dispatched, humans repeated futile resistance… In these days that are coming to an end, the protagonist has to complete each stage” photo Bounty” photography tasks, and send these photos to the designated location. Earn rewards by completing “Photo Bounty” missions in each stage and sending them to designated locations.
Don’t miss a photo opportunity in a world on the verge of destruction
Each stage of the Photo Bounty has a designated shooting target, such as a bird, billboard, landscape, friend, shooting target, or body bag, and players progress by completing these targets. As a reward for your work, optional features for various shots and photo-developments are gradually added, eventually allowing you to roll around the stage and even shoot acrobatics in the air. You can also take cute selfies and create illustrations with spray paint. Immerse yourself in the world of cyberpunk, shoot as many subjects as you like, process and collect photos however you want.
The creative expression of players is limitless
The developer of this game is the Maori Aboriginal people of New Zealand. “When the game decides which pictures are ‘good’ and which pictures are ‘bad’, it becomes work. I don’t think that’s what it means to be creative. . That’s why in this game, I’ve made sure that there are infinitely many ways to achieve mission objectives. From what I’ve seen so far, they’ve been achieved in ways I never imagined.” In other words, the developers put Creativity is at the heart of the game’s design.
The game’s theme was also influenced by the first-hand experience of forest fires by developers living in Australia. The red sky becomes one of the key themes of the game. The red flames that scorch the sky, symbolizing a planet suffering from natural destruction, also seem to be a harbinger of a dystopia, the political turmoil felt by those living there.
