CabalX

Evelyn was raised by a guardian who calls it protection, though on a dying planet everything he says has a price tag attached. Cabal X is a neo-noir grind through corporate rot and cold beds, not a romance.

Every faction on this planet wants Evelyn and hates every other faction that wants her; they dangle safety and comfort like bait, and none of it is free. That tension turns sharper once a corporation digs up an ancient artifact whose pulse strips inhibitions from the whole population, tipping the mega-sectors into a fog of raw hunger while Evelyn stays one of the few still thinking clearly.

You play her as a mercenary picking her way between contracts, using her body and her wits against people who'd rather own her outright. Choices about who to trust and who to sleep with or sell out shape which corners of the rotting city open up, framed through turn-based RPG systems, side jobs, and the odd card game between jobs. Nothing here pretends to be warm.
