Fixed bug where player interrogation scene would not load
It’s 2065, and you are an interrogator-model android tasked with rooting out deviants among your own kind. You must probe for lies, monitor and exploit emotional spikes, earn the trust of your subjects, and make the final call: release, or destroy?

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Duskpunk is out now!
2025-11-19 17:18 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
Duskpunk, my latest game, is finally out on Steam! I'm doing a massive sale, of both my other games, to celebrate!Duskpunk is a tale of hope, grit and survival, where life and death hang on a roll of the dice. Will you join the ranks of the powerful, or spark revolution? Like Silicon Dreams, Duskpunk has a sprawling branching narrative, and your choices have serious consequences: for yourself, your allies, and the city as a whole. You manage resources to keep on surviving (Silicon Dreams had your Company Rank, and the trust of your subjects; Duskpunk has stress, health, time and a few others).
Duskpunk official announcement, free demo available now!

Controller support!
2022-09-14 13:23 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
Along with a few minor tweaks and bug fixes, the latest version of Silicon Dreams comes with controller support! We know that, as a narrative-heavy game, SD might be better experienced from the couch rather than hunched over a desk. So now, if you have a couch-and-controller-based setup, you should be able to enjoy the game in comfort. We have tested this build as much as we can, but there's always a chance we missed something. If you find a bug, please drop us a line using the link provided in the in-game bug reporting system, from the pause menu. -Jamie
Nominate Silicon Dreams for the Steam Awards 2021
2021-11-25 21:34 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
The annual Steam awards are here once again, and we'd be thrilled if Silicon Dreams could be part of it! We honestly think that we've put together a little narrative gem here - even though it took a year and a half of blood, sweat, tears, and a lot of words - and we would be so grateful if you'd consider casting your vote for Story-Rich games on our little offering. It's scrappy, small, and certainly not the biggest fish in the pond, but we're proud of this little thing we've made. So are you, if you're one of the people who wrote us a lovely Steam review! (Thank you for those, by the way! We
Fatality & Fame is out now!!!
2021-10-12 16:30 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
Hey cyberpunks! We've talked a lot about how we think this game is ripe with stories to be harvested. In this free DLC, we're pleased to introduce you to two of them, written in collaboration with cyberpunk author Matthew Goodwin. Every good cyberpunk detective story needs a cyberpunk murder, right? Meet JH-422, the first known android murderer. It killed a government official in broad daylight, so this should be an open-and-shut case. Should be. Our second addition is RL-404 (aka "Raleigh", aka "Error-404"), holo-streamer and stunt performer. Her owner has been up to some shady dealings, and
Silicon Dreams: Fatality & Fame update - Developer Gameplay [Pre-recorded]
2021-10-12 16:30 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
RL-404 (aka "Raleigh", aka "Error-404"), holo-streamer and stunt performer. Her owner has been up to some shady dealings, and is being interrogated in the next cell over. Will you work with the other interrogator to put him away, or try to preserve RL-404's life of fame? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37256284/9d586dabe496a34c260b9d901288816ed28236a7.gif
Fatality & Fame
2021-10-06 13:59 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
Greetings, cyberpunks! The Fatality & Fame update is coming to Silicon Dreams on October 12th and will be released as a free update to the base game! New characters! We’ve created two entirely new characters that will be added to the interrogation roster, written in collaboration with cyberpunk author, Matthew Goodwin. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37256284/19edecb2164ff6e0980d6f79cec0f38ce91384dc.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37256284/9d586dabe496a34c260b9d901288816ed28236a7.gif Narrative map After each interrogation you’ll be shown this “narrative flowchart”.

New feature: rewind!
2021-06-30 15:05 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
Silicon Dreams just received a major, much-asked-for update: the ability to rewind the story and replay previously seen scenes! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37256284/1d5237d94b29348aa13c1fa34438626c28f3c792.jpg Here's the lowdown: Rewind isn't available until you've finished at least one playthrough. (Dying counts!) A lot of players said their first playthrough was really tense, and we worried that introducing rewind might take that away from them. Once it's unlocked, though, you can choose a save slot and rewind that game to any scene you played through. Then you can continue playing from that point fo
Update note: Rewind feature!
2021-06-30 07:29 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
The game now has a "rewind" feature, allowing you to pick a save slot and go back to the beginning of any scene that was played during that game. So if, for example, you wish you'd dealt with a character differently 2 scenes ago, you can wind back to the start of that scene and begin playing from there. Some caveats: Rewind only unlocks once you've finished a complete playthrough! (Or died.) Players have praised the game for how tense and high-stakes it feels playing through for the first time, and we didn't want to lose that. It only works if you started playing the scene no earlier than June
German localisation: fixes and proofreading
2021-05-27 07:33 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
This update fixes a lot of stylistic errors in the German text, and a few places where the German text couldn't be found by the system. If you see a line that looks like "-loc- error: text could not be found", please let us know here! As far as we know, all those problems are now gone. This also fixed a bug where learning Shakira's big secret did not unlock the appropriate report answer to the report question "Did you learn anything else of note about the subject?"
Text speed updates and some narrative/ending fixes
2021-05-19 09:35 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
A few fixes here, but they're very important: some of these make sure the correct endings/epilogues play, which could be very narratively important at a critical moment! Fixed bug where sometimes clicking an already spoken dialog line would lock the game in an uncontinuable state Text speed has been updated, and setting the slider to max will make text pop in instantly. Fixes to epilogue texts not matching what happened during regular play Fixed problem where a critical email was sometimes missed during an ending sequence Slight performance improvement for main interrogation scene (basically I
Resolution options at last!
2021-05-04 14:58 UTC · Community Announcements · James Patton
Note: these fixes have only been applied to Windows and Mac machines! Unfortunately when I tested this new version on Linux I experienced a game-breaking rendering glitch. I'm going to try and pin down what caused it, but in the meantime I don't want Win and Mac users to have to wait on these improvements. - added resolution options, AA, Vsync, you can even manually set the target frame rate - R-1982 being sent to maintenance will now yield the correct epilogue text - Savegames are no longer deleted upon finishing the game; the save will stick around and you can revisit it later to review the
