Cyberpunk!

The camera pans away from two empty glasses, and onto Taiyo's bra.
You strip the bra away from her. She smiles and says "Would you like to
continue?"... You sigh. "It's just 149.99!", she smiles. The trial software
ends.
The year is 2471 AD. Sex has become a commodity. Each girl is just as
worth as the lithium battery that fuels her. The physical sensation of sex is
completely replicated, in every sense. She never says "no" again. The age
of the prostitute is over, and is replaced by "Hentai Cooks", baggy old
men creating perverse fantasies for other baggy old men to play in.
Los Angeles, California is one of the most populated cities of the world,
yet it's also the most quiet. There's nobody on the streets. Everyone's
connected. Your job, sex life, fun life, it's all a hub.

You work at the Police Department, Life section. Your employment is of the last five percent of jobs that require you get out of your room's interface. You handle a mech that shoots harmless rays at a Pro-Life Strike.

Doomsday event: The world's hub population becomes sucked into the network and is unable to get out. Any attempts to disconnect results in the user's death. Your neural interface still works (you see a user interface in your eyesight) but communications do not work. The Pro-Lifers use some sort of communication device known as a "Walkie Talkie", an ancient device that was put back into use when the last digital phone company went out of business.

You're called into action. You meet your partner Jane for the first time. The game takes place in a very different apocalypse. Streets are dirty, but functional. Apartments line into the sky. Factories pump out delivery robots, which deliver factory pumped food. Everything is functional, but nobody is here. A self sustained ghost town.

Mysteries:
- Could the Pro-Lifers be involved?
- Where are the government troops? Why haven't we received external help?
- A select few have been reported as dieing in their consoles, could this be a conspiracy?
- Where are these deadly robots coming from?

The game is a third person shooter, but not in 3D. You control two characters, Jane during action and Max during dating/thinking sequences.
