Tales of the Neon Sea is a cyberpunk pixel art point-and-click detective adventure set in an indeterminate point in the future where skyscrapers and neon lights draw impressive aesthetics all throughout the cityscape.

Welcome to a world of intrigue and suspicion. In a world in which humans & robots contend with escalating tensions, mutual distrust, and where gangster felines scheme their way to the top of the food chain, you will have to harshly explore each neighbourhood in town and unveil the whole plot through intriguing dialogues with the characters you meet up with.

Welcome to the Tales of the Neon Sea!

Boasting stunningly detailed pixel art, and featuring a twisting story of mystery and suspense, Tales of the Neon Sea is an exciting new adventure from Chinese indie studio Palm Pioneer. Set in a fully realized cyberpunk cityscape, use your wits and puzzle-solving skills to determine the course of this unique tale.


Tales of the Neon Sea is scheduled to release on Steam for PC on April 30th, 2019.

"We grew up as sci-fi lovers on classic anime and movies, with their own variation on an alluring and terrifying cyberpunk future.” says Palm Pioneer producer Tian Chao, β€œAt the same time, growing up in China during the ongoing economic boom has given many of us the feeling of actually living in such a world of towering skyscrapers and hazy neon streets! Even Denis Villeneuve, director of the recent Blade Runner sequel, referenced Beijing during the design of that movie. This gives us a unique perspective to inject into the now familiar cyberpunk vision. In the game, players will find many puzzles and stories with oriental characteristics, but the oriental elements are only part of the Tales of the Neon Sea world view. Other elements in the game also occupy a very important position. We believe that the integration of these elements creates an interesting and unique experience.”
