BANKWAVE: Neon Networth is a narrative document simulator with escape-room elements set in a dystopian, cyberpunk world. The player is a cloned VatBorn™ teller, forced to work as a customer service representative at a megacorp headquartered in the heart of an infinite multiverse. In BANKWAVE, the player deals with wave upon wave of customers. Some customers are just trying to finish their transactions, while others are part of a branching narrative. Choose carefully, and the friends you make could help you escape the clutches of your tyrannical boss.

BANKWAVE: Neon Networth explores themes of class, social status, agency, sentience, and others commonly found in political satire and dystopian fiction alike. Immersive, retro-futuristic elements are featured throughout the game’s visuals and audio.

BANKWAVE originated as an entry to Ludum Dare, the longest running game jam on the planet. The jam entry ranked in the top 3% for music and top 5% for art. BANKWAVE is Frabjous Studios' first title.
