020

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 29/01/2026

Meet your new boss in TEKNOKRAT! 🦾 Though prone to stress and emotional outbursts, Satya is very good at what she does. You could chalk her attitude up to being the sole person left to run the family workshop- technically, shes as new to the cyborg repair business as you are!

1106

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 27/01/2026

Here's something from the WIP vault! A very early style test of TEKNOKRAT. Feel free to compare with the finished demo, currently playable on Steam! 🦾 store.steampowered.com/app/3732260/...

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 26/01/2026

🦾Bane - mysterious wanted assassin. Behold, a man who could snap your spine with minimal effort. And thanks to a glitching eye implant, you're at his mercy! Very secretive about himself, and probably for good reason. Perhaps the best man to ally with is the one who put you in this situation?

110

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 26/01/2026

🎧Uriel - innocently nihilistic DJ. A victim of science, Uriel finds himself trapped in a destructive cycle of substance abuse and getting paid to have his organs replaced with dangerous speculative cybernetic models. He thinks nobody cares. Will you prove him wrong?

110

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 26/01/2026

🐱Stray - quite literal catty bastard. This smug yet charming jerk is the closest you're gonna get to your target, the titular TEKNOKRAT. As his pet cybernetics project, Stray enjoys a life in the lap of luxury- but finds himself painfully lonely. How did he end up there? Does he enjoy it?

110

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 26/01/2026

So who are your potential partners in crime anyway? Lets do a little introduction round! In our visual novel TEKNOKRAT you are thrust into a city-wide conspiracy, at the mercy of multiple parties with your very life in their hands. A tyrant is making his final move- and you need to pick an ally! 👇

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 20/01/2026

It's literally in the name- our sci-fi/thriller visual novel TEKNOKRAT is largely inspired by electronic music. Royksopp, Three Drives, Robert Miles & Gigi D'Agostino are but a few influences- bound together by the familiar beeps of Acid genre touchstone, the 303 synth. Got a favorite artist?

160

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 19/01/2026

Each route has their own events and two endings, centered on the quirks of your partner of choice. You always have the same task, but there are plenty of ways to approach your goal- and plenty of things that happen on your way there, affecting the ending in different ways.

110

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 19/01/2026

TEKNOKRAT's story has three main paths with six endings. The demo takes you up to the route split, where you choose your cyborg partner in crime: 🐱Stray, smug sugar baby catboy 🎧Uriel, recklessly nihilistic DJ 🦾Bane, literal wanted terrorist

1108

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 18/01/2026

You must ally yourself with one of three of your patients to survive. 🐱Stray, high fashion cybernetics sugar baby 🎧Uriel, a weird nihilistic DJ with a drug habit 🦾Bane, cigar-smoking literal wanted terrorist You could change them. But what if you made them worse?

143

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 18/01/2026

Then the most powerful guy in town, the titular Teknokrat, happens to visit your repair shop. The wrong people find out about your brief connection, and soon you're dragged into a city-wide conspiracy with your very life on the line.

110

Vertebrae Entertainment @vertebrae.rip · 18/01/2026

The Steam demo is coming on the 23rd!! So lets do a refresher on what our gay cyberpunk vn TEKNOKRAT is about🦾 Enter the techno-metropolis of Nu-Vika as a cyborg repairman. Things were going well enough for you, dystopian setting aside- until strange glitches start infecting your AR eye implant.
