Black Future ’88 is a Synth-Punk roguelike 2D action shooter where you vertically climb a procedurally evolving tower to reach its insane owner before your heart explodes. Shoot, slash, dash, and upgrade yourself to survive relentless waves of deadly traps, homicidal AI, crazed junkies, and colossal Wardens in a stylish, dystopian 1988. The world reels from a nuclear cataclysm unleashed by Duncan, the tower’s architect, whose bombs blacked out the sun and plunged the world into endless rain and floods. Time has stopped at 1988, and everything is measured in minutes left to live. Take on the role of one of the last misfit survivors and fight your way to the top to kill Duncan and end the eternal nuclear downpour. Ascend to die, and die to survive.
