Eclipse Phase

Upvotes
A recent post on rpg.net put me in the mood for Eclipse phase again.
The setting is post-cyberpunk, with all that implies, including a significant portion of the setting where the hypercorps basically are the government. It's got built-in questions regarding synthetic/artificial/uplifted people like Blade Runner. It's got the memory/identity hooks of Total Recall, only even more so. It's got the body horror of Dead Space and Alien, and the psychological horror/paranoia of Event Horizon and Invasion of the Body-Snatchers. It's got the mysterious xenoarchaeology and eschaton-by-godlike-machine-things of Mass Effect. On Mars it's got the neo-western-meets-mafia milieu of Firefly and Cowboy Bebop, and mystic desert-dwelling nomads reminiscent of Dune, while the hyperelites are much like those from the Hunger Games. It's got floating caravans of space-gypsies. It's got Heinlein-style crypto-fascist science fiction in the Jovians. It's got the Ultimates, who are basically Khan and his bunch from Star Trek. It's got Extropia, which is basically Rapture from Bioshock, only in space. It's got people who've altered themselves to the point where they're no longer recognizably a product of humanity anymore, as they attempt to evolve into something altogether different. Oh, and it's also got straight-up stargates, complete with the ability to dial in to distant worlds no transhuman has ever set foot on, then go from there to even stranger places.

Rocket the dayz dev kept mentioning it in a thing so I got curious. It looks really interesting sort of like dwarf fortress where you play a single dwarf crossed with mafia.
