Quadrilateral Cowboy

What it is

Quadrilateral Cowboy is a first-person cyberpunk adventure from Blendo Games, released in 2016. You take on heists using a hacking deck and other grey-market equipment, choosing whether to move quietly or force your way through. Its security-filled environments support different approaches: type commands to interfere with doors, weapons, cameras, robots and alarms, then plan a route through each job. The available tools include a Launcher Pad, a remotely controlled rifle in the Autocase, and a small Weevil robot. The game is single-player and supports Steam Achievements, Workshop, Cloud, stats, commentary and Family Sharing. It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. The Standard Edition includes the game, developer commentary and a reference manual. Its cyber-heist story follows a crew through a retro-futuristic setting, with the player able to shape how they tackle the work.
