It the late 21st Century and life in the West Coast Sprawl is dominated by powerful mega-corporations. Yet on the street, rebellious punks, drenched in blazing bright neon, search for another way to live. The world is about to change…and you will decide whether it is the mega-rich oligarchs or the neo-anarchists who come out on top.

Mirrorshades is a megagame of classic cyberpunk, in the tradition of Neuromancer, Altered Carbon and Netrunner. In the game players take on the roles of the megacorp leadership and the punks who both despise and serve them.

Jockeying for position are the four CEOs of the megacorps, each desperate to have total power and limitless wealth. Few can guess which of Ares Technology, Tyrell-Ashpool, Haas Biomechanics or Greater Hong Kong Security will come out on top, but they’ll stop at nothing to get there.

Yet there is another faction too - the hacker messiah and punk activist, Fastjack - who is looking for real change and an end to corp dominance - will he change life for the better or just sell out for few bucks?

Around them are many varied teams of Punks each with their own goals and dreams - some have their own political ideals, some just want to make cash, and a few just enjoying setting off explosions.
