Role-playing (RPG) Simulator Adventure Indie
Series X|S PC PS5 Switch
About

Surrounded by bright neons, filthy streets and even filthier techno beats, it is you who guard the entrance to the rave. Sharpen your wits and deliver lyrical smackdowns to those not worthy of partying. But beware - the stakes may or may not involve blowing up the city.
Storyline

Your rising star was shining bright and you were going straight to the top. And once misfortune struck, it struck hard. In an instant, the days of living large in the prestigious high-rises were gone. Looks like you need to go back to doing what you know best - bouncing the door at your old job in the Green Door club. Seems that, much like you, the club has nowhere to go but up, and so it’s time to bring it back to its former glory.
Get. To. Work!
