Sinthetic is an Action RPG that also incorporates visual novel elements. Taking influences from both Western and Japanese cyberpunk media, the game seeks to implement elements both visual and narrative into a balance of East and West.
The year 2057, the world is in financial turmoil following a war that threatened nations. Currently one city state serves as the major commercial hub of the world. That city state being Vacancy, a man-made island built within the East Sea near the coast of west Japan. Originally created as a safe haven for many working migrants quickly became a cesspool with overcrowded buildings and mega-corps taking residence. Many crime syndicates and gangs began to emerge to take control of the streets of Vacancy, which resulted in heightened public security. Fawke Harvey, a former US marine and one of many mercenaries which risk their lives to live another day works within the crime-ridden streets taking up contracts to combat the unknown threats he may face. One of those unknown threats may become a greater enemy than those he has ever encountered.
