2064 Update?!?

2064 Update?!?

On Steam at least. Sorry I can’t say for anything else currently

This is mainly just a post about what’s been sprinkled across the Twitter/X and Bluesky accounts, since haven’t seen much about it here, but yes.

2064 will be getting an update soon!

99 percent chance. With some bows on top for good measure.

While I don’t work for Midboss, I have been directly working with Midboss on the update. I don’t want to directly spoil anything, but will note that it’s also the first update the game has had on Steam in almost 7 years.

Truly a Hassy miracle. Hopefully at least!

P.S. I am writing this on my phone before going to sleep sorry about it being very short I’m sleepy

Neurodiver is a bit different, huh?

Picked up the game last year during a Steam sale when I accidentally stumbled upon it, and I remember all I could think was, "Holy shit! This game that I remember fondly from my childhood got a sequel? How is nobody talking about this, I could swear the original was fairly well received back in the day?" So I tried it out for a chapter or two (Tutorial-prologue and the first chapter where you meet the otaku guy) and I just... I don't wanna say, "It's like it's a completely different game!" because duh, yeah that's how sequels work lol.

But at the same time, playing the game for even those two chapters made me wanna play the first game to see if I wasn't imagining things and one playthrough later, no, no, if nothing else then the atmosphere of the sequel's prologue, at least, is like completely different from just say the equivalent chapters from 2064. Like, in 2064 I played the game as an alcoholic with a halal diet (Something that Turing would loudly remind me off anytime he so much as saw me even think about tasting even a single drop of the stuff, lol.) In 2064 you roleplay as YOU (or whoever you want,) which is already a pretty novel thing for VNs (which usually see you taking up the role of an established in-world person, with their own goals and relationships) and you live in this shitty lil rundown apartment getting by hand-to-mouth every month on what I can only imagine was an anything but glamourous salary as an independent journalist.

Contrast that to the opening of Neurodiver where you're meeting all these characters who are on mostly friendly, if not professional, terms with the protag (who, herself has a pretty cushy flat,) and the game starts doing all these tongue-in-cheek "wacky anime" pastiches and it comes off to me as just... Sure, plenty of that was in the first game as well, but it really felt as if it built up to it. You start the game and you're basically a nobody, you're biggest "claim to fame" is either being the friend of a genius scientist, or being the sibling of your local cop's ex. Your apartment eventually stops looking as much like a crack house, *after* you and Turing start putting in the work to clean the place up. By the time you start seeing "wacky otaku" jokes or doing Christmas themed rap battles you're at least like 3 or 4 hours in with at least 1 (IIRC I think maybe 2?) death reveals under your belt.

I guess what I'm asking is not if, "it gets better," but rather, "does neurodiver get *more like 2064*" as it goes on? Or if it doesn't, then does it at least pick up pace with the intrigue and stakes? I haven't touched the game since last year so I'm still blind on the game and would probably prefer to continue to be as much as possible, at least, but even just navigating to this subreddit from the web it seems that if nothing else there's something in this game's writing that has at least some people heavily divided on the series' legacy characters like Tomcat, so that also isn't exactly encouraging.
