Aneurism IV is a sandbox game on the border of online RPGs and simulators. It is the work of the independent Vellocet studio and it transports us to a dystopian metropolis teetering on the brink of collapse.

Gameplay

In Aneurism IV we play as the Spirit. It is a spectral entity one step away from transforming into a human, who ends up in the titular metropolis. We watch the action from the first-person perspective (FPP). The game provides us with an open world and does not impose any goals on us. How our life in the city looks like is determined by our choices and actions.

The roles and importance of decisions

For example, we can become one of the hardworking proletarians or a banker wallowing in luxury, cooperate with Cortex ruling the metropolis, the liquidators trying to stop the rot gradually devouring Aneurism IV and spreading scumbags, and also the zealots wanting to take advantage of corruption for their own benefit.

What we do, as well as the decisions we make, have an impact on the city. Our actions and choices can both protect it and lead to its destruction.

Survival

On the other hand, the game allows us to maintain neutrality and live our own lives, engaging in daily activities and performing our professional duties, without looking at any higher goals. This path seems tempting since credits are needed to survive. We can earn them by taking on various jobs. Currency is primarily used by us to purchase essential goods, but as our wallet grows, we can allocate it to other things, such as valuable items or real estate.

Survival may also involve the necessity of reaching for a weapon. Venturing into the dark alleys of Aneuris IV or crossing the wrong people, sooner or later we will encounter enemies. The game allows us to confront them using both melee weapons and firearms.

Coop and other game modes

We can play Aneurism IV only in multiplayer mode. The game allows for playing over the Internet or on a local network. We can cooperate or compete with other players.
