Overview
Luddite plunges players into the sprawling metropolis of Yurushi, a city grappling with the societal upheaval caused by widespread automation. You step into the shoes of a young engineer, recently unemployed due to Niven Megacorporation's embrace of AI-powered automata. This layoff forces a return to the Saitama Slums, a stark reminder of the growing 'useless classes' rendered unemployable by technological advancement.
However, despair gives way to defiance as you're recruited by the charismatic Red Ludd. He's building a resistance movement, known simply as the Luddites, to combat this mass obsolescence.
The game seamlessly blends turn-based tactical combat with a fully incorporated graphic novel, offering a unique narrative experience.
