You can imagine what kind of fate this kind of intelligence will have on the future of humanity. Beat the game with destructive weaponry and an aggressive playstyle, and you'll end up creating a similarly violent antagonist. The answer depends entirely on you, your play style, and how you decide to resolve certain narrative situations. The question is, what kind of AI will be created? As you may have guessed, the game is all about creating the first self-aware Artificial Intelligence. There are multiple biomes each representing a single function of the mysterious computer system you've been tasked to infiltrate.įrom the heavily armed security fortifications of The Tet to the authoritarian engineered world of The Hex, each location requires different skills and strategies to master. We’ve crafted a small yet fully-realized environment bursting with character and details. The landscape of The Mainframe is a completely open and explorable seamless experience. As you explore The Mainframe, you’ll discover the reason for your existence, what you were programmed to do, and how your difficult choices will have consequences which ultimately affect the future of this world. The game's entire story takes place within one second, but inside the virtual world, time is perceived differently. Perhaps you might even decide to physically bypass these obstacles entirely, if you have spent the necessary time and resources to build up your traversal abilities. The environment is also hackable, from something as simple as locked doors to more complex machinery – everything is built from logic gate circuitry which can at any time be overridden, inverted or completely disabled. Alternatively, you could take a more considered approach, hacking enemies to turn them against each other, whilst you wait around the corner for chaos to ensue. You could go in with all guns blazing, attracting attention from nearby security systems as you blast through enemies and bosses. With the many challenges and obstacles presented to the exploit, it’ll be up to you to decide how best to tackle them.
There’s platforming, third person combat, and environmental hacking puzzles.
