Heliosphere is a biopunk adventure featuring a young inventor named Maya. After being trapped in the future she has to navigate a dystopian world full of cyborgs and mutants. She allies herself with a wild android but the whole world seems unhinged. 

In the world of Heliosphere a class of people called the Reprogens has a monopoly on high-speed brainpower. The rest of humanity fights helplessly to survive in the destroyed remains of what was once human civilization. The Reprogens set the laws that everyone else lives by and enforce them with snake-like drones called slithers.

Heliosphere is about the intersection of human nature and technology. Watch helplessly as humanity transforms into a completely new species with surprisingly little self awareness.
