New video game has players racing around a dystopian Vancouver

Science World, 鶹ýӳHouse, Gastown sights and more pop up in the game.

Tails Noir, the post-noir roleplaying detective adventure video game based in a retro-futuristic 鶹ýӳfilled with anthropomorphic characters, is getting a spin-off of sorts.

A will launch mid-September, with people driving cars around a dystopian, flooded, and partially destroyed Vancouver.

"Tails Noir: Rebel Rush combines fast-paced gameplay with stunning depictions of iconic 鶹ýӳlandmarks, including Gastown, Stanley Park, and the Waterfront district," reads a press release about the game. "Players will dash, jump, and bounce off well-known landmarks."

The game also features 鶹ýӳHouse (the residential tower that looks like it might fall over), Hotel Vancouver, Science World, and more, though the landmarks aren't necessarily located on a map of Vancouver. The lamps might also look familiar to people who spend a lot of time in Gastown.

"Our team has meticulously crafted a game that celebrates Vancouver's spirit," reads part of the press release.

The game even includes the Granville Street Bridge chandelier.

"Did you know that there is a chandelier in 鶹ýӳthat costs $4.8 MILLION dollars? And apparently it’s a piece of “public art” that just spins slowly in purple lights? Imagine how much better the world could have been if that money had been put towards – Ah, just break it already!" reads the game's site.

It's not the first time 鶹ýӳlandmarks have shown up in a video game; there's a MarioKart course filled with sites and sights from Vancouver, and several other games use 鶹ýӳin different ways.

Tails Noir: Rebel Rush will be released on Steam on Sept. 16.
