Parkside: Decayed Soul Manipulation

Parkside: Decayed Soul Manipulation is a first-person shooter and immersive simulation set in Abbotsford, California, in 2038. You play as Alexander Petrovich, an unemployed hacker kidnapped by the Illuminated Brethren of Conclave Automata. After they interface him with an experimental combat platform called POLYPHEMUS, they use a Remote Combatant Viewer to send him on illicit, dangerous missions based on directives from the mysterious Divine Rod. A sinister voice in Alexander’s head warns that judgement is inevitable.

Abbotsford in 2038

The city reflects four years of secret interference by the Brethren. Its environment is cold and unforgiving, its people are drab and demoralized, narcotics and gangs are widespread, and military police patrol the streets.

Choose how to act

You decide whether Alexander will follow the Brethren’s vision for humanity or take the hand of a guardian angel. Choices have consequences in a struggle for control involving powerful stakeholders and the lives of the city’s citizens.

Tools and missions

You can tackle obstacles with futuristic weapons, EMP grenades, frag mines and abilities for navigating the environment. Hack or bypass keypads, security cameras, turrets and robots, or destroy them. Missions take you through smoky streets, dark alleys, airy vents and secret bases.
