I haven't played this DLC, but I will say it is extremely disappointing to me that there aren't more cyberpunk horror games. I mean, not a lot of cyberpunk games in general these days, but cyberpunk horror has monumental potential, but nobody wants to make one.

Is Signalis considered cyberpunk?

I think it could count but its more on the Scifi end IMO.

.>observer_ was a pretty decent try but it's a Bloober game, so its got all the Bloober hallmarks (infinite pointless jumpscares, really bad and inconsistent performance, etc).

Like, where are the A.D. Police Files-esque Survival Horror games? Hollowbody almost could have fit but that was tech-noir.

Its just an underutilized genre in general, IMO. And its real unfortunate too. We get infinity medieval fantasy RPGs, but cyberpunk horror is maybe just a handful in the last two decades, if that.

It's probably a bit more sci-fi what with the android women, but I'd consider it cyberpunk.

Ruiner, The Ascent, Signalis, hell even Selaco.
