About
SPINE is a single-player cinematic action game where close-quarters shootouts meet Gun Fu combat. Take on the role of Redline, a rebellious street performer equipped with Spine, a sentient combat implant with a mind of its own, and fight through a cyberpunk city ruled by an autocratic AI regime in search of Redline’s captured brother.
In Tensor City, a technocratic megacity built by an AI so that humanity can survive the ecological collapse of the outside world, your value is a number. Social Rating decides who eats, who works, and who is thrown away, dividing the city into the shiny new city above and the rotten old city below. Redline, a rebellious street artist, sneaks through the slums, until a mafia heist goes wrong and costs her everything, including her brother.
SPINE features Freeflow Gun Fu combat, with camerawork and fight choreography by action movie stunt specialists. It’s powered by Unreal Engine 5 and Nekki’s original animation engine, Stunt, making players the star of their own action movie where no two fights are the same.
