> *A neon-noir story in a rain-drenched cyberpunk metropolis. It’s your first night on the job working for the Cloudpunk delivery service. Two rules: Don’t miss a delivery and don’t ask what’s in the package.*

*Cloudpunk* delivers the experience of what it is like to be a delivery driver cruising from point A to point B in a neon-lit cyberpunk city filled with skyscrapers while driving a flying vehicle and listening to relaxing music.

*Cloudpunk* provides the experience of what it is like to be a delivery driver cruising from point A to point B in a neon-lit cyberpunk city. You zoom throughout the urban jungle, passing by countless lit skyscrapers on your flying vehicle, while listening to relaxing music and conversing with various characters.

Frequently, there are scripted conversations between characters that flesh out the realities of living in the city and the daily lives of its inhabitants, which were engaging enough for me to look forward to hearing the ringing tone of the communication system and being able to learn more. Discussions about class systems, ethics about using AI, what is considered a life form, and corporate dystopian control were woven into the narrative as you deliver packages and taxi people to their destinations.

I liked listening to the scripted conversations between characters which flesh out the realities of living in the city. You hear about their daily lives and struggles. You hear about the interesting going-ons and events. You hear about hints of activity in the city's underbelly. These conversations were engaging and intriguing enough for me to look forward to hearing the ringtone of the communication system for the next script. Some discussions were thought-provoking, such as ethics about using AI, life form considerations, and corporate dystopia control, which were woven throughout the narrative as you deliver packages as taxi people to their destinations.

I guess you can call this an interactive visual novel experience because your choices don't fundamentally affect the story. There are a few missions that have a timer, but even if you miss a check, there isn't a lasting consequence as NPCs would excuse away the missed timer on your behalf. However, I did spot one achievement to successfully complete all time-sensitive deliveries — which is something to note for completionists.

I think the weakest part of *Cloudpunk* is most of the out-of-vehicle sections that force players to navigate around convoluted platforms and wait for a ridiculous number of elevators. Many times I have walked into a dead-end and had to backtrack to go to a different Z-axis to get to my destination point (and then meander my way back to my vehicle too!) which is quite frustrating due to the slow walking speed and limited map capabilities.

I think if the developers increased the walking speed, then most of my frustrations with this game would be alleviated and make the out-of-vehicle sections feel less like a chore.
