## Sam's Journal Entry

NEO-NEXUS

Neo-Nexus was founded in the 2043. When shit went down, the fouder envisioned a modern metropolis free from crime, poverty and corruption. Corporate partners Neto, Omnitech, Mioshi and more helped him realize this vision, investing in the foundation of what would become Neo-Nexus. The city would develop into a haven for young idealists and a beacon for others who sought to fulfill their own dreams. And although the founder fell to assassins and many new generations seeking fame, fortune and freedom have suffered their own series of setbacks, the city's legendary status endures today.

Neo-Nexus has it all: from the monumental skyscrapers of industry-leading megacorporations, to the luxury villas of world-renowned stars, to the lawless neighborhoods where war is waged every day. You will stumble across mercenaries, gangs, but also junkies, bums and even Cyberpsychos. You will stand in the shadows of colossal megabuildings and get lost in the maze of streets, alleys and markets. You will make your dreams come true or die trying.
