The unofficial tumblr for Neural Cloud, the roguelike gacha game from Mica Team. (Developers of Girl's Frontline and Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery). Bringing you the latest news and updates as they come out.

Guys, do you ever just... wake up one day and find that a thing you enjoyed, a thing that you loved, is suddenly a dead fish? And no matter how much you poke at it, wait patiently by it, and just generally hope for it to come back, it stays painfully dead in the water?
It's possible I should have seen warning signs coming when I stopped caring about character events after 416 Clukay (that is still the goofiest anime name I've ever seen, and anime used to be full of goofy names), and somehow kept Jiangyu's event stuck in limbo for two months because I barely interacted with the game beyond completing dailies. But at some point last year, probably a few weeks after my last post, I just... stopped caring about Neural Cloud altogether. Like a sudden onset of gacha burnout, but without the violent rage and disappointment that usually causes it. Not even the anniversary event could bring it back.
It's kinda depressing because this has spread beyond PNC to Girl's Frontline as well, which I've also been playing devotedly since day 1. (It doesn't help that Fixed Point was the most depressing event to date. I know the joke is that it's really called Depression Frontline and that our primary adjutant is just ptsd, but you can only keep writing sad sack stories for so long before it stops being worth it). Ironically I've picked Arknights back up, which I'd previously dropped. So maybe there's still hope.
Anyways, that's unfortunately why I've gone awol. Neural Cloud no longer sparks joy and the memories of all the fun I've had aren't enough to keep me around. And let's not get started on trying to run a fandom-news side blog on a volunteer basis without love and passion.
With all that said, take care of yourselves, folks. Depression and burn out are real.
The stars move, the moon turns, and the light will answer the world's confusion—what variables will her arrival bring to the fate of the Oasis? Let's look forward to it.

After maintenance on October 17th, the ★3 Doll Nora will be obtainable in the [Advanced Search]. This is hopefully a sign that we will soon see her get a rerun.
Usual disclaimer about the generic benner here.

A new furniture set [Spooky Castle Night] will be available for a limited time on October 17th!
Everyone drawn to this place wanted to spend an unforgettable night here... But after that, nobody found any trace of them, so maybe that's what happened.
Furniture descriptions below the read more:
Ancient Flooring
A piece of work with a long and varied history, carefully maintained to today. The traps hidden within are still more than functional. Watch your step.
Eerie Stone Walls
Preservation is the best way to commit to memory. Hold onto these precious histories, even if you might get a bout of rheumatism if you live here… not a price one cannot pay, right?
Otherworldly Door
Note: Do not use this door at 12 sharp, dead of night. No matter if it's for someone else. for yourself, or in response to a voice from the other side…
Eternity's Beddings
This bed has a certain affinity for humans, and hopes that everyone will sleep here for a bit longer, just a bit longe… into forever.
Stained Carpet
Question not what made the stains here, and your chances of leaving here alive may increase… Good. you're sitting at about 0.001%.
Antique Armchair
To be brave is to not turn back when patted on the back.
Cat-Headed Pumpkins
The mysterious felines love to explore everything. Even if they were to be turned into pumpkins, they still wish for you to take them along. It's not like they can die again, after all.
Castle Storage Rack
The first scroll upon this rack says: To leave alive, please open the third scroll from the left on the second row, and leave the others untouched.
Hello again, then, soon-to-be pumpkin explorer.
Knight's Armor
The knight watches over this castle, for the honor of deceased masters.
Scraggly Sofa
Wailing, begging, outrage, attempts to maintain their last scraps of
dignity… You hear the last sounds made by everyone who has reclined upon this sofa. Now, your turn.
Bewitching Hour's Table
The friendly and approachable host has prepared the finest of morsels for all guests. It sits at the head of the table, savoring each and every expression of terror.
Shadows of Days Past
Trust not the mirror, for it is far too honest… Yes, exactly so.
Figures of Glory
The glories of yesterday make their way off the banners, wrapping themselves around warriors' throats.
Blue Fireplace
The bodies of your companions burn, but there'll be no warmth to be found here. Go onwards.
Nightstain Window
Stare not into the windows for too long. You should know—when
lightning passes, windows can also serve as mirrors…
"What is this? A cake in the shape of a thoracic cage, complete with all the ribs, sternum and thoracic vertebrae, no less! Thank you immensely, Professor!"
The "Impenetrable Nights" 7-Day Sign-in Event will be available from Oct. 19th to Nov. 2nd! Over this period, you can obtain Profile Background [Phantom Night], Furniture Piece [Shaded Sofa] and other generous rewards by signing in consecutively.
Targeted Searches - [Glamorous Gourmand] and [Spiral Story] will be available after the maintenance on October 17th. The ★3 Dolls Millau and Helix will receive a huge drop-rate boost! In addition, the following off-rate pity breakers ★3 Dolls will also be available:
After the maintenance on October 17th (that's tomorrow), Imhotep and Antonina's Arma Inscripta "Life's Bounty", "Zero-Day Weaver" will be available! Arma Inscripta can enhance your Dolls' skills and their overall combat capabilities. And these two are worth noting.
Antonina's combat and debuff abilities are expanded, and at AI3 becomes a multi-target attacker. She also inflicts a new debuff which has helpfully been left undefined.
Meanwhile Imhotep comes back from the training grounds as a certified Harmacist. Each level of AI enhances both her ability to deal out damage to her enemies and healing to her allies. Not just separately but at the same time. Most importantly, at AI3 she powers up her allies to deal additional damage and heal themselves. There's a reason the meta slaves call her essential.
New Neural Cloud Projection Series [Lightless Procession] ://_ Antonina - "Veiled Refrain"
Dear Professor,
Antonina's Live2D Projection "Veiled Refrain" will be available for a limited time on October 17th!
