What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Sad it's fake. First the Palworld dating sim, now Cyberpunk floppy edition. They could have made floppys with a txt doc that said "April fools!" or done one of those SD card floppy hacks. But nah, entirely fake.
I'll never forget that Sega made an actual, functional Sonic detective game for April fools. That was brilliant. I wish more companies would follow their example.
Edit: bonus points if one (un)lucky customer actually received Cyberpunk 2077 spread across roughly 50,000 floppy disks.
Landfall releases a new game each April 1st and the latest one is a funny Lethal Company clone. Wish more devs did stuff like this
