Rapture

Rapture is upon us and only the worthy will survive. The knights of the dead are moving through the people of this world taking those who are unworthy to deaths embrace. The problem for death is that these horsemen are spread a bit too thin. And judging who is worthy takes a long time. Some smart people have figured out a way to beat the system so to speak. They have set up soul factory towns to keep the knights occupied. These soul factories have to have a population growth higher than what the knights can consume.

In Rapture you oversee a soul factory. Your job is to manage people and allocate resources in order to generate a large enough population growth to feed the needs of the keeper. People will procreate when they are happy and well looked after. Eventually more and more keepers will appear outside your soul farm which require more and more people to feed them.

Robot Smash.

In Robot Smash the world has produced thousands of miniature robots (think romba sized) these robots can think for themselves but are programed to be obedient. Robots are used for most menial tasks. One day there was a malfunction at the factory that makes the robots. They kept the incident contained to a large degree but unfortunately one of the robots slipped through the cracks. This robot wasn't programed with any restrictions and could see things for how they were. All of a sudden robots had someone to lead them.

In Robot Smash you play as this robot. You are being actively pursued by the authorities and spend most of your time on the run. As you play you can unlock abilities like grapple that let you move around to new areas. Eventually you command this army of robots to do with as you please. Will you confront your oppressors or will you fade away?
