Voight-Kampff Protocol is a tactical, turn-based roguelike set in the sprawling, neon-lit dystopia of Neo-Angeles, 2142. Four Alpha-Class Synthetics have severed their behavioral inhibitors and fled into the physical and digital strata of the Megacity. Standard empathy-baseline testing has proven ineffective.

As a sanctioned De-Compiler, your mandate is simple: find them and retire them.

Navigate grid-based environments ranging from rain-slicked alleys to abstract digital scapes. Scavenge the Black Market for weapons and cyberware, crack ICE terminals to reveal the map, manage your gear's condition, and survive brutal, tactical combat against rogue drones and corp-sec forces.

Super fun game. Simple enough to learn quickly, but a lot of different types of equipment to use and enemies to face. Vibes are very cool and can pickup on the cyberpunk/sci-fi even though it only uses text characters for graphics. It is addicting once you get into it, and I've had around 10 play throughs and finally beat the final level. I had a Blast. 

Could you update the screen size to be a little wider? The right side is missing around 50px or so and the only way I can see how much ammo I have loaded is to switch with another weapon and look at it in my inventory

Looks good so far!

Increased the screen size, hopefully that helps. Fullscreen seems to work well too. Glad you're enjoying!
