Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum

Step into the neon-soaked world of Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum, a top-down roguelite that fuses bullet-time gunplay, hacking, and surreal cyberpunk style. Developed by nodayshalleraseyou, this indie gem gives you the powers of a cybernetic agent who can hack anything—computers, turrets, people, even bullets flying through the air.

It’s equal parts deadly and absurd. One moment you’re bending time to dodge waves of enemies, the next you’re befriending AIs or customizing your agent with endless procedural gear. With its lo-fi hip hop soundtrack, dark humor, and roguelite replayability, Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum feels like no other cyberpunk game out there.
