Cooking up some explosive rubble for #ShowcaseThursday! #DEFECT #gamedev #IndieGame

This city doesn't sleep, It just grinds. No one can recall a time when the smog ceiling didn’t prevent light from penetrating. We’ve only ever known perpetual darkness. #DEFECT #IndieGame #GameDev

These corridors are built to keep citizens in line and isolate conflicts that ensue. #DEFECT #Indiegame #gamedev

Every inch of this city clings to you like grease to a sewage pipe. You’ll be carrying that soot on the bottom of your feet from one hellhole to another, unless you live under the order of the System. #DEFECT #Indiegame #gamedev #ConceptArt

The System’s Police will find any way to upload the data, reboot local systems and remove any trace of them to complete their objective. We’ll hold our ground using any and all means. There won’t be any breaching tonight. #DEFECT #IndieGame #Gamedev

In the absence of hope, living under The System’s control can feel inescapable. #DEFECT #Indiegame #IndieDev #gamedev

You want full control of the city? You better gear up for a fight. Can you imagine running around with these in your loadout? #DEFECT #Indiegame #gamedev #ConceptArt

In this neon soaked cityscape, the Law is a blueprint for cruelty, etched onto the backs of the powerless. The only way to survive is to choose chaos above all. Wishlist #DEFECT today: linktr.ee/playdefect #DEFECT #IndieGame #GameDev

It’s a shame these bio-tech advancements are being squandered in a hidden secret room like this. The gang faction is known for having these highly illegal tools at their disposal. Some will say the orchestrator had it coming. #DEFECT #IndieGame #GameDev

Here, Police Forces are the executioners that do The System’s bidding. Law and order isn’t just a concept, it’s the bullet. Wishlist #DEFECT now: linktr.ee/playdefect #GameDev #IndieGame
