ABOUT

In the near future.
With it they researched Lunafilament, a material capable of replicating anything, as long as they have its data.

One day without warning, they lost all signals to the lunar research station dedicated to the research and development of this Lunafilament.

A response team was dispatched immediately.
However, a massive lunar quake hit soon after they arrived.

Hugh Williams—separated from his team, unconscious and
badly injured—is discovered by a mysterious android
in the form of a young girl.

She is a Pragmata, created using Lunafilament.

Gameplay

Pragmata is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. The player controls both Hugh and Diana at the same time, as they look for a way to escape a lunar research station infested with hostile AI robots. Hugh is equipped with a number of firearms, and a jetpack that allows him to dodge hostile attacks and reach distant areas. Bullets cannot penetrate through a robot's armor, though Diana can hack into a robot's defense system, disabling it and revealing its weak point for Hugh to attack. In each puzzle, the player must guide the cursor across the grid to reach the target tile, evading obstacles and toggling optional bonus nodes which may bring additional combat advantages such as increased weapon damage for Hugh.

The puzzles are solved in real-time, meaning that Hugh needs to dodge and evade hostile attack during each hacking sequence.

Plot

On a seemingly lifeless research station located on the moon, spacefarer Hugh and android Diana find themselves targeted by the hostile AI governing the station. The two must work together to defeat the AI and return to Earth.

It's been 5 years since the first teaser for Pragmata.

Undergoing significant developments over the years

Development

Pragmata is being developed by Capcom . The video game was originally announced on June 11, 2020, during Sony Interactive Entertainment's PlayStation 5 reveal stream, as Capcom's first original franchise in eight years.

Based on Capcom's 2021 annual report, Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku wrote, "One reason why the game looks so different from other Capcom titles is that it's the brainchild of new development staff".
