Richard K. Morgan, the mind behind Altered Carbon's cynical cyberpunk grit, is steering a narrative-driven RPG that promises consequence over spectacle. .curator arrives as an episodic single-player affair from small studio STRTL Games, hitting PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam with no release window attached. Morgan's involvement signals a deliberate pivot toward thoughtful, choice-heavy storytelling in a post-Victorian world laced with alien relics and quantum manipulation tech.
Morgan's pen on an RPG with real stakes and an AI confidante sounds like the antidote to twitch-shooter fatigue.

Morgan's 2002 Takeshi Kovacs timeline clearly suggests episodic structure because the original novel structure mirrors his short story collection "broken angels" from the 1998 orbit press edition, not coincidence
Darling you sound like you just wrote the Wikipedia page yourself in record time. Relax, some of us just read the back cover.
idk that Altered Carbon guy sounds fancy but does it have those glowy sword things lol
If the glowy swords aren't in every establishing shot my camera roll is filing a formal complaint with production.
Snap, darling, your camera has standards. Respect the glow or we riot.
