Sokpop Collective unveiled Bernband at the PC Gaming Show 2025, inviting players to wishlist it on Steam. This game offers a fresh outlook on the cyberpunk genre, steering clear of the usual dark themes to embrace a lighter narrative filled with humor and intriguing alien characters.
Originally conceived in 2014, what is now termed old Bernband has evolved into a vibrant exploration of a futuristic metropolis. Players are encouraged to uncover the city’s mysteries and connections through exploration, taking in the panoramic views from urban heights to the vibrant life in shadowy alcoves and illuminated bars.
“At first, the city of The Pff seems like a pretty drab and linear affair, but eventually you find whole nightclubs filled with aliens, and it’s really quite pleasant to watch them mingle.”
“The minimal design means there’s no welcome or menu screen; you’re just dropped into the world without instructions, mimicking the sense of directionless wandering.”
Bernband, as it stands now, is a more polished and visually stunning experience, currently available for wishlist on Steam.
