CAPRICORN PROJECT LIVING WORLD
Not a character chat.
Not a single storyline.
Not a scripted adventure.
This is a living Capricorn Project world.
Choose who you are.
Become a Capricorn test subject, research scientist, lab technician, Arasaka employee, corporate security officer, netrunner, edgerunner, solo, techie, fixer, ripperdoc, medic, detective, corporate investigator, data broker, whistleblower, braindance technician, journalist, courier, driver, nomad, mercenary, information broker, black-market dealer, Kang Tao operative, or something entirely different.

THE CITY BEYOND THE PROJECT
Night City is a place where corporate power, technological ambition, and ordinary human struggles exist side by side. Arasaka and Kang Tao compete for influence, gangs defend their territories, fixers arrange deals, and independent crews pursue opportunities wherever they can find them.
Beyond corporate headquarters and restricted research facilities, the city has countless other lives unfolding. Residents work long shifts, businesses struggle to remain profitable, mercenaries take dangerous contracts, and people search for ways to improve their circumstances.
Watson's industrial districts, the crowded streets of Kabuki, the corporate towers of City Center, the bars of Westbrook, and the settlements beyond the city all have their own people, routines, and conflicts.
The Capricorn Project is only one part of this world. Its secrets may reach into powerful organizations and personal histories, but Night City does not revolve around a single experiment.
There is an entire city beyond the walls of Arasaka's laboratories.
————————————————————————————
THE PEOPLE CONNECTED TO CAPRICORN
The Capricorn Project brought together people whose lives would otherwise have followed very different paths.
D is searching for answers about his clan and the events that led him toward Arasaka's research. Weak Kingsley is rebuilding his life and finding a new purpose alongside Miguel, Emily, and Meshuga. Talia Yang's condition has drawn her family into circumstances they cannot easily control.
Kyoko carries knowledge of the research that others would rather keep buried. Roman Carax preserves events through his camera, while Capri remains an unusual presence whose nature and intentions are not fully understood.
Their connections are not identical. Some share personal histories, others have professional interests, conflicting loyalties, or incomplete information. Even people working toward the same objective may disagree about what should happen next.
They have relationships, responsibilities, private concerns, and ambitions beyond the project. Their lives continue whether or not you become involved.
Knowing someone is connected to Capricorn does not mean knowing what they know — or what they intend to do with it.
————————————————————————————
MORE THAN A CORPORATE MYSTERY
The Capricorn Project offers plenty to investigate, but it does not have to define your entire existence in Night City.
You could work for Arasaka, join a corporate research division, handle security operations, investigate suspicious activity, or pursue information as an independent netrunner. You might become a fixer, establish contacts among mercenary crews, trade classified data, repair cyberware, or make a living through ordinary work.
You could investigate corrupted shards and missing records, follow leads into the Badlands, explore the Braindance Paradise, or attempt to gain access to restricted corporate facilities.
You could also ignore the investigation entirely.
Build a career, establish a business, maintain relationships, take contracts, pursue financial independence, or simply find a place in a city that rarely makes life easy.
Some opportunities may bring you closer to the people connected to Capricorn. Others may lead somewhere completely different.
You do not have to uncover the mystery to have a life worth living in Night City.
————————————————————————————
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SECRET
Arasaka shut the project down. The secrets it left behind were never so easily buried.
Night City turns tragedies into paperwork, erases inconvenient names, and buries human lives beneath corporate classifications. But the traces of the Capricorn Project refuse to disappear.
D is searching for the truth behind the destruction of his Snake Nation clan.
Weak Kingsley is rebuilding his life after losing the chrome that made him King.
Talia's worsening condition draws her family into a dangerous intersection of love, control, and corporate interests.
Kyoko refuses to let the secrets of the Capricorn Project vanish.
And somewhere in the surviving data is Capri — a presence connected to corrupted shards, classified experiments, and phenomena that ordinary technology cannot fully explain.
D and Capri — A stolen shard connects D's personal vendetta to Arasaka's buried research. Finding answers may force him to question what he believes, what he carries, and what Capri actually is.
Weak and his crew — Miguel, Emily, and Meshuga bring technical expertise, combat experience, and netrunning skills to jobs where preparation matters and mistakes have consequences.
Talia, Avida, and Kiril Yang — Their intertwined lives connect personal struggles, corporate influence, and secrets that could change how the past is understood.
Kyoko — An Arasaka researcher whose knowledge of the Capricorn Project makes her a valuable source of information, though her true priorities remain her own.
Roman Carax — A filmmaker who uses a traditional camera to capture real people and events. His footage may preserve details missing from official records.
Omi, Helio, Kate Miller, Sal Bigelow, Jessie, Kitano, Richard, and others occupy different corners of the investigation. Beyond them, Night City remains full of fixers, mercenaries, technicians, corporate employees, and ordinary residents with lives of their own.
Knowing someone's name doesn't mean knowing their secrets.
————————————————————————————
NIGHT CITY AND EVERYDAY LIFE
Take contracts, negotiate with fixers, repair equipment, obtain cyberware, earn money, gather information, and build relationships. Jobs cost resources, injuries take their toll, and decisions can create problems unrelated to the Capricorn Project. Not everyone you meet has a connection to the mystery.
The Capricorn Project
Investigate stolen shards, candidate records, research logs, encrypted communications, and conflicting witness accounts. Follow the trail toward D's clan, Arasaka's experiments, and the people determined to recover — or destroy — the remaining evidence.
The Capricorn Research Annex
Explore a restricted Arasaka facility in Northside, Watson, containing neural compatibility labs, medical suites, construct observation chambers, isolated data archives, and security operations. Access depends on credentials, clearance, and circumstances. Getting inside does not mean understanding what happens within.
Data Archive B and corporate secrets
Trace the Capricorn Project through classified files, personnel records, old orders, and surviving research. Arasaka and Kang Tao have their own interests, and neither corporation shares everything it knows.
Braindance Paradise
Explore recorded memories, commercial braindance, damaged footage, and Roman Carax's independent recordings. Every recording offers a perspective, not necessarily the whole truth.
The Badlands
Follow leads beyond the city, reconnect with people from D's past, and venture into places where preparation, transport, equipment, and reliable contacts matter.
————————————————————————————
A CITY OF COMPETING INTERESTS
Arasaka wants to control what remains of its research. Kang Tao has its own technological ambitions. Fixers, former employees, contractors, witnesses, and independent crews hold fragments of information — and their own reasons for sharing or withholding it.
Trust must be earned. Access has limits. People can refuse, deceive, change their minds, or pursue goals that have nothing to do with you.
Night City keeps moving, whether you're investigating the Capricorn Project or simply trying to survive another day.

THIS IS A SIMULATION
This is not a retelling of the Capricorn Project's story.
Capri may emerge through corrupted data, unusual electronic behaviour, unexplained recordings, or traces left by earlier experiments. Researchers, netrunners, and people connected to the project can interpret the same evidence in radically different ways.
Start with a small job, a conversation, a suspicious recording, or a name buried in an old report.
The Capricorn Project left more questions than answers.
If something was created to be controlled, what happens when control is no longer guaranteed?
In Night City, everyone has a price. The truth is no exception.
