Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is the next mystery adventure set in the world of MidBoss’ 2064: Read Only Memories.

Re-enter the vibrant and inclusive metropolis of Neo-San Francisco, filled with familiar locations and fan-favorite characters including former police detective Lexi Rivers, elite hacker TOMCAT, and genetically-altered lawyer Jess Meas. Explore a brand new story delving into perception, reality and identity.

The powerful organization MINERVA’s latest breakthrough, a genetically engineered creature called the Neurodiver, can probe deep into the subconscious mind. Guide MINERVA agent ES88, capable of using the Neurodiver’s Deep Dive to access and directly interact with memories, as she tracks down a rogue psychic known as the Golden Butterfly. 

Find clues to the strange and powerful Golden Butterfly’s whereabouts in the subconscious minds of Neo-San Francisco’s citizens. Alter the corrupted memories of the Golden Butterfly’s victims to find traces of its next target before the villain flits away. Uncover key information in the minds of cyberpunk citizens while practicing caution, for the Neurodiver’s Deep Dive could cause irreparable damage to a person’s consciousness if overused.

“Neo-San Francisco, with its cyberpunk mix of corporate interests, technological and biological advancement, and diverse cast with a lot of queer characters, has plenty of room for stories exploring the intersection of human nature with society and technology,” said Cade Peterson, CEO of MidBoss. “Neurodiver asks what makes us who we are while furthering the stories of characters like Lexi Rivers from 2064 and the comics taking place between the two games.”

Eager fans can check out the Neurodiver prologue/demo today through Steam and Epic Games Store, introducing the protagonist ES88 and her psychic abilities allowing her to dive into the memories of others. Help a bounty hunter recall what happened during a shady business deal gone wrong.

The trade paperback version of the Read Only Memories comics, brought to life by IDW Publishing with writing from The Walking Dead, X-Men, and Iceman veteran Sina Grace, will launch in August 2021. Collecting the full series into one volume with additional content such as interviews, the book will also include a Steam game key for 2064: Read Only Memories.

A rogue Esper, a naturally gifted psychic, is on the loose and wreaking havoc through the subconscious minds of Neo-San Francisco. Track down this mysterious rogue known as the Golden Butterfly by using the  Neurodiver to search the memories in which it hides. Read Only Memories: Neurodiver’s Deep Dive mechanic enables ES88 to identify, manipulate, and unlock information, though overuse can irreparably corrupt her target’s memory.

Set to retro-inspired music from Scarlet Moon artists, this colorful point-and-click adventure explores themes of memory, perception, and identity through the lens of a person who willingly gave up everything she was.

Read Only Memories: Neurodiver comes to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC/Mac (Steam and Epic Games Store) in Q1 2022.
