City of Chains immerses you in a dark, dystopian sci-fi world where survival is a constant struggle. You play as Holt Allaway, a talented engineer unfairly accused of conspiracy after he refused to create military weaponry. Wrongly imprisoned, he finds himself in a facility where interrogations decide the fate of criminals – execution or servitude.

As chaos erupts from an attack by corrupted machines, Holt is liberated by a scout bot operated by the enigmatic Cai. Alongside him, the skilled scientist Chloe and the deadly assassin Lorelei join the fight for freedom. Their journey through the City of Chains is fraught with danger, government forces in pursuit, and few resources at their disposal.

This game features non-linear gameplay, allowing players to utilize various skills—from hacking and lockpicking to combat and crafting. Your decisions shape the narrative, impacting the world around you. With three difficulty modes and an emphasis on team morale, every choice matters. Explore semi-linear locations, seek alternate routes, and uncover the mysteries of a city bound by chains.
