Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Family, betrayal, and a dragon's crown, all wound through the neon-drowned alleys of Hong Kong.
Shadowrun: Hong Kong was released in 2015 as a standalone release built using an upgraded version of the Shadowrun Returns engine. It was developed and published by Harebrained Schemes, following their earlier Kickstarter-funded titles Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall – Director's Cut. The game takes place in the science fantasy setting of the Shadowrun tabletop role-playing game, set in the year 2056 within the Hong Kong Free Enterprise Zone. Harebrained Schemes launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2015 to partially fund the game, which was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux that same year.
