Black Future ’88 is a high-octane 2D roguelike action shooter set in a neon-drenched, synthpunk dystopia. Climb a procedurally generated tower in a race against time, where every second counts—because your heart is ticking like a bomb.
The world ended in 1988 when Duncan, the mad architect of the tower, dropped the first nuclear bomb. The fallout never stopped, and now, time itself has frozen in the aftermath. It’s always 1988, and humanity is living minute by minute in the ruins of the old world.
As one of the few survivors, your mission is clear: ascend the cursed tower and stop Duncan before your own body gives out. You’ll slash, dash, and blast your way through a storm of traps, killer robots, and overwhelming bosses—all while your heart slowly counts down to detonation.
