In Cupid's Bargain, you get to give out amazing love advice to all who desperately needs it 😘 But! Did you know you can use tarot cards if you want a push to the "right" direction. Yes, your eyes may change color and the world around you does get glitchy, but let's ignore that! #screenshotsaturday

💚Neon, again 💚 Notably the youngest of the cast, Neon does her best to make sure that she doesn’t need to rely on anyone but herself.
NEON
AGE: 24
OCCUPATION: BARTENDER/ANTI-SURVEILLANCE TRADER
"I don't have time to entertain you right now."
Someone who doesn't care much for the comfort of others. Neon is a busy woman of little patience. All of her energy is put into making money. Time is short, and she won't have hers wasted.

NightLightWrks @nightlightwrks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I decided to remake all of the intro cards immediately after posting. So… I’m just gonna post them again. Enjoy! #cyberpunk #visualnovel #indiegame
AERO
AGE: 27
OCCUPATION: ERRAND BOY
"Apparently, time doesn't heal all wounds. "
Perpetually exhausted. Aero craves recognition, believing that he's worth more than his given lot. Somehow, he's always surrounded by people more successful than him-a fact that annoys him to no end.

Clementine is next! 🧡 Her bright personality has captured just as many hearts as it has broken 💔 #visualnovel #cyberpunk #indiegame
CLEMENTINE
(SHE/HER)
Age: 27
Occupation: Cosmetic Surgeon
& Fashion Designer
"If they can't have me, then why not offer them the next best thing? Someone just as sexy, stylish, and full of star power?"
Well-known across Temperance for her steady hand in the realm of fashion and medicine. If you'd like an appointment, it's best to book one months in advance.

Black & white image of Aero for the upcoming game, Take No Prisoners. The text reads “Aero (he/him), age 27, occupation: errand boy.” 

Aero is quoted as saying “Apparently, time doesn’t heal all wounds.”
