The briefing

About this game

B.A.T. is a cyberpunk adventure and role-playing game set in the 22nd century. As an agent of the Bureau of Astral Troubleshooters, an ultra-secret organization serving the Confederation of the Galaxies, you undertake missions involving espionage across multiple planets.

Gameplay combines first-person exploration, point-and-click interactions, conversations with characters, and item collection needed to advance the narrative. Random combat uses a real-time system: you must prepare within a limited time before combatants exchange blows, with the ability to sidestep and dodge attacks.

The game also features the programmable B.O.B., an organic computer implanted on the protagonist’s arm, along with RPG-style character development based on various statistics.
