Knifeboy

Knifeboy is a 2D adventure set in an alternative Nevada, shortly after the fall of The New World Order. A new regime, Anonymous, has taken control of the world. KnifeBoy, a former rebel leader who was killed after the old order fell, is brought back from the dead by Dr. J. You set out to oppose Anonymous, rescue your girlfriend Blue from imprisonment and find out who killed you.

Story and world

Years earlier, KnifeBoy woke from a coma with Blue beside him and no memory of his past. Jack and Blue told him he was a rebel leader fighting The New World Order, and that the rebels were close to winning. They succeeded, but KnifeBoy was killed before he could celebrate the new era. The game’s story unfolds through environmental details, conversations with NPCs and comic books, with clues for observant players to piece together the past, present and future.
