Cynapse
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Developer Note: We ambitiously tried to make 7 levels for this game but due to time constraints we were only able to complete 1 level. That being said we're also aware of the various bugs in the game. We hope to implement all the levels in a post jam patch.
"Cynapse" is a top down cyberpunk action game inspired by the likes of "Hotline Miami" where one wrong move leads to death. Step into the shoes of Charon Cybernetic's leading assassin, Arke Kaplan, as they fight their way through the corporate own megastructure to ensure people's memories don't turn into another product to be sold.

Install instructions
Web Build: There is no web build at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Windows Instructions: Download the Cynapse.rar file and open the Windows Build, then double click on Cynapse.exe.
Mac Instructions: Download the Cynapse.rar file. Then download the free The Unarchiver App on the app store. Follow this YouTube video for the instructions on how to unzip the Cynapse.rar file. Once unzipped, you'll need to open your Mac's Terminal and enter the following commands as mentioned in this Unity forum article:
cd /Users/your username here/Downloads/Cynapse/Mac\ Build/Mac\ Build.app/Contents/MacOS
then:
chmod -R 755 ../..
followed by:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/your username here/Downloads/Cynapse/Mac\ Build/Mac\ Build.app
Then when you try to double click on the Mac Build that has the icon of our main villain, the game should open. The only way to quit the game is with "COMMAND + Q".
We recognize that the Mac instructions are incredibly complex and hope to fix this in a post jam update.
