"The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games publisher Crunching Koalas and Berlin-based (Germany) indie games developer Dexai Arts, today announced with great joy and thrill that their filled narrative RPG "Techno Banter", is now available for PC (vis Steam and GOG) and consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Review - Techno Banter is a short game, and even in that time, your interest may wane, but on the whole the writing is good.
Techno Banter blends together Berlin's underground clubbing scene with Monkey Island's verbal jousting in a distinctive mix of gameplay and aesthetics.
Neil writes: "Techno Banter promises to be a witty take on the life of a club bouncer, all as they try to make their way through a weird dystopian city."
Techno Banter has been put together thanks to inspiration from the Berlin techno-scene, and it’ll be this which is felt in the visuals and locations as well as the climatic, bass-heavy, BPM-rich soundtrack. With that composed by real-world DJs coming straight out of the most iconic of Berlin clubs like Tresor and Berghain, we’d like to think that Techno Banter is going to sound awesome.
Tresor! Count me in. As a techno fan since the genre started, and owner of several Tresor vinyls, I'll be supporting this day one.
