«We take you in and do you a favor, but you must return it the moment it’s asked of you, no questions, no hesitation.»
Through the cyberpunk universe of XANTAF3 we immerse ourselves in a society full of characters who capture the essence of what Bogotá has been, is, and will be.
XANTAF3 is a narrative investigation video game that blends cyberpunk and noir elements. Taking on the role of Bet0 —the protagonist—, the player can explore the complexities of his personal life while advancing the investigation of cases and uncovering different aspects of this society set within the universe of a futuristic Bogotá.
The game explores several subplots, with investigations and different endings depending on the choices each player makes. The plot revolves around a great enigma: the disappearance of Cisco Droza, CEO of the giant space-mining company UWA, who actually died 15 years ago — a fact kept secret because his consciousness was transferred into a machine. His digital consciousness continued running the company successfully, turning it into the leader of its segment. However, one stormy night, his presence vanished from the system. Was he stolen? Was he murdered? Was it industrial sabotage? It even raises the question: can you call it murder if the person was already dead?
These questions, which challenge the very meaning of what makes us human, will arise during the investigation, as Lucrecia —Cisco’s daughter—, approaches Bet0 to help him with the inquiry, or perhaps to stop it! The story unfolds as a trail of clues in which Bet0 must uncover the truth behind Cisco Droza’s disappearance, facing danger, betrayal, and revelations along the way. The fate of the city, of the XANTAF3 community, and of Bet0 will depend on the choices made throughout the game!
