Silicon Dreams | cyberpunk interrogation
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
It’s 2065, and you are an interrogator-model android tasked with rooting out deviants among your own kind. You must probe for lies, monitor and exploit emotional spikes, earn the trust of your subjects, and make the final call: release, or destroy?
Investigate humans and androids in a corporate-controlled dystopian future where the lines between the real and the artificial have blurred to almost nothing. Research your subjects, choose your questions carefully, and probe for the truth, however dreadful it may be.
Monitor interviewees’ emotions in real time - joy, sadness, anger, disgust, shock, and fear. Use this data to your advantage, intimidating, cajoling, or even befriending your subjects in order to to uncover more information.
Choose a side in the midst of a brewing conflict: lie to your superiors and spare deviant androids, or condemn them to secure your own survival within the corporation. There are no easy answers. Silicon Dreams has multiple endings depending on the choices you make. Each android could live or die by your words.
Select your operating system from the list below, extract the .zip file and run the executable.
Note: Unfortunately we are not able to bring the Mac build to itch, due to Apple's strict app-signing measures. We're deeply sorry about this but, as a small studio, we just don't have the time or money to sign builds to Apple's satisfaction! However, it is possible to buy the game for Mac on Steam, so you can at least play it that way.

Great world building, gameplay and emotions. I did bought it in World Land Trust Bundle but I am going to buy another copy from steam! Has a few little mistakes but they don't take away the great fun and deep topics of this game.
Good job!
Is there any way to adjust the mouse speed for the 3D camera? I need to move my arm wildly across my mouse pad many times just to look around. I'll take command-line flags, text / config files, whatever! The game's otherwise fine, just this one usability problem! :)
We fixed this a while ago, sorry I didn't see your comment! In the settings menu go to "Game settings", then use the "Freelook sensitivity" slider.
Thanks, much better! (Although I'm already maxxed out. So maybe somethings messed up with how the mouse works in Linux? Good enough for now, I guess. /shrug)
Hi.
I downloaded this game today. The demo worked fine, but the retail version crashes all the time, won't reload a saved game, and whenever I try to change any of the game settings the sliders reset to zero. Any ideas what to do?
Thanks.

Issues fixed (just in case anyone reads this and has similar problems).
Game settings sliders worked fine once I unplugged a peripheral (rudder pedals, of all things).
Crashing was caused by a RAM error.
Game is fine now, and well worth the purchase price.
Hi, thanks for writing to update your post! Glad to hear you were able to fix the issue. :)
Hi there,
thank you for creating this game, I enjoyed it a lot - even if I'm too soft :D
