Description
About This Game
Somewhere in an alternate version of the 1920s, the world has shaped up differently. WWI didn't end in 1918. Technology progressed quickly with the rise of robots and mechanically augmented prosthetics.
ROBOV Robotics has pioneered the development of worker robots that have become commonplace worldwide. Much of the workforce has been replaced by these robots, to the dismay of the citizens. Many find themselves out of work and barely able to survive. The recent boom of homelessness and poverty has put a strain on society. Civil unrest, protests, riots, and desperation has settled in as people become uncertain about their future.
A former lab assistant at ROBOV Robotics, Marshall stumbles upon a motorized quad contraption housing a human brain. With his ingenuity, Marshall can communicate with the conscious brain and creates a robotic exo-suit to give it a physical form. The brain, which identifies itself as Price, has no recollection of its past or the experiment that brought it to its current state. Price decides to help people by becoming a private detective. However, the citizens have a hard time trusting anything resembling a robot.
Join Price and Marshall as they unravel the mystery of Price's identity. However, their investigation leads them to discover a web of industrial espionage and global conspiracy, ultimately taking them to the heart of Centropolis.
City of Centropolis
A partnership led by INOVA Industries to operate outside of the law. The futuristic self-sufficient city of Centropolis is praised as a technological utopia. However, this comes at a cost, as laborers who live below the city have to work in hazardous conditions as a result of this, nevertheless.
Stunning Visuals
The expansive world comes to life thanks to the stunning pixel art, dynamic lighting, torrential rain, volumetric fog, and neon lights. Take a ride on an airship and visit places like Redhook, Grand Hills, and Robov Regional Headquarters. Envisaged a future in which Nikola Tesla prevailed in the War of the Currents, opening up new possibilities for technological development.
