Studio Brakio, a South Korean indie studio, brought its 2D action game MODULE:BERSERK to the BitSummit PUNCH event. The game is set in a steampunk dystopian world undergoing desertification. The player controls an emotionless automaton butler programmed to protect the sole surviving young lady of a ducal family after an attack. Combat relies on a cane as the primary weapon, with a shotgun provided by a mechanic-like ally for stripping enemy armor. A well-timed dodge activates Berserk Mode, enabling faster and more stylish attacks.
Team leader Park Jin-gyu told 4Gamer that the story is designed to be hard-boiled and narrative-driven, with a focus on character relationships and multiple groups whose paths intertwine. The butler's lack of emotions is intentional: Park said he wanted players to face moral choices without a pre-set emotional guide. The game will feature branching endings based on those choices. Park described the theme as a story of resistance in a world already sliding into dystopia, with familial love emerging as the driving force toward the ending.
