Story and Setting
The narrative of Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome centers on a group of friends who venture into a landfill for a photoshoot. This group consists of a netrunner, a fire graffiti artist, an aspiring rockerboy, and an autotechie. The landfill, a place filled with discarded items, scrap, and metal, is rumored to be haunted. However, the friends soon discover that Night City harbors dangers far more terrifying than mere ghosts.
The initial issue sets the stage for their perilous journey.
