You play as an Esper, basically a super investigator, exploring this huge city that’s built using some cool procedural generation tech. From what I’ve seen, the gameplay is like a mix of anime action and Grand Theft Auto, but with web-slinging movement like Spider-Man! Honestly, it’s got me hooked already, and I’m not the only one – tons of players are already showing interest.

Riley Walz developed an app called ‘Find My Parking Cops’ – a humorous take on ‘Find My Friends’ – that showed users, in almost real-time, where parking tickets were being given out. The app even ranked officers by the amount of fines they’d collected, with one officer reportedly collecting over $15,000 before the app was shut down.
