Warsaw, Poland - August 30th, 2024 - Techno Banter, the highly anticipated techno-infused, bouncer simulator, will be launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year, alongside the PC release. Adding to the excitement, a playable demo of Techno Banter will be available at PAX West 2024, offering attendees a hands-on preview of the game’s unique blend of humor, weirdness, and music.


About the game


Set in a dystopian city teeming with underground rave culture, Techno Banter combines razor-sharp dialogue with pulsating techno beats, immersing players in a neon-soaked world where they decide who gets past the velvet rope.


Players take on the role of a bouncer at the notorious Green Door club, navigating a colorful array of characters. With wit as their weapon, they’ll choose from a variety of clever comebacks to keep the club’s vibe intact, making each night a unique experience.


Techno Banter’s developers Dexai Arts are true Berliners, which can clearly be felt in the inspiration the game takes from the wonderful and weird underbelly of the techno capital of the world. Having spread long roots in the Berlin DJ scene, they’ve brought many local DJs on board to spin tracks inside the game’s main club Green Door.


The game has already gathered some attention, winning the GameStar.de “Find Your Next Game” Indie award, the Reboot Develop Blue Special Selection award, and being featured in this year’s Guerilla Collective’s Official Selection.
