Can You Repair Future Tech in Steel Soul Shaper?

Steel Soul Shaper is a narrative-driven repair simulator where you play a highly-skilled cyberware surgeon running a secret back-alley clinic in a cyberpunk city. As you modify your clients' bodies, you'll hear their stories, uncover their secrets, and quietly shape the course of destiny in this neon-soaked dystopia. Dive deep into the world of cyberware repair. Weld cracked metal, patch armor, remove rust, and purge viruses using a range of specialized tools and materials. When the damage goes beyond repair, source parts by any means and work your magic to bring busted limbs back to life.

Create one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to each client. Add bold metallic paint jobs, expressive decals, and custom neon lights to turn every mechanical arm into a dazzling work of art to adorn the futuristic cityscape. Your clients will range from ambitious youngsters to dangerous higher-ups. But embedded in the cold steel and closed circuits of each cyberware are memories of joy and sorrow. Unravel the hidden stories of your clients and reveal the complexities of survival in a neon-bathed metropolis.

The tools in your hands don't just repair cyberware, they shape the course of destiny. Faced with "special requests" from clients, the lure of money from illegal mods, and pressure from powerful factions, every choice you make matters. The ending is yours to write.
