A downloadable game

In this game, you play as Jax Riven, a former D-boy turned freedom fighter in a dystopic future controlled by the Prime Nexus, and AI-infected human.

He has to take control of a drone to attack a train and secure its payload, a nuclear device that can change the course of mankind!

Developed for the March'24 Game Creator's Club at Lusofona University. This time, the theme was "Trains".

This is the seventh game in the "The Cortex Chronicles" - I want all the games I do for the Game Creator's Club this year to be linked together, hence this idea. I also want to use a different engine on every entry, so let's see how that goes! :)

This time, I used Gamemaker, which I haven't used in more than 10 years!
