A sideview physics-based platformer game. Following the wake of an extinction-level event which resembled a colossal EMP blast that wiped human minds clean, sentience has almost been eradicated. But you won't be playing as the brave survivors, still clinging to their personalities and senses of self. Instead you play as a giant cyborg and her android companion. You were supposed to have been a technological experiment with possible military application, but the DNA used to facilitate the process "unfortunately" brought with it the previous human's compassionate personality and traces of memory, resulting in a pacifistic entity. The researchers were working on creating another cyborg from scratch as an attempted Mark II, but failed to implant the new subject's DNA before the cataclysmic event was triggered, so it remained entirely robotic.

Now, in the wake of this mess, you have escaped the facility with this blank android in tow, and have taken it upon yourself to search for survivors and help them. Most of the figures you see are mindless, brains wiped by the shockwave and standing comatose. On you jump, run, and climb, navigating the broken-down landscape in search of intelligence. The catch is that, being giant, your mass has heft and structures will buckle and collapse beneath you. You must guide yourself and the android through each location safely - as prototypes, you are not waterproof or very durable - by swapping control between cyborg and android and guiding them one at a time to safe spots. As the level buckles and changes under the weight of the leader, the follower will have to adjust their movement pattern to compensate, resulting in a different, dynamic experience the second time around.

The cyborg and the android have different capabilities that will make it sometimes necessary to consider who to lead with or at what point to swap their positions - the cyborg can use creativity to hack and problem-solve, and can communicate with any survivors she might find, but her android, lacking human parts, is more durable and does not suffer from factors like temperature or pain. If the android is destroyed during a level, the cyborg can still fix it if she can reach its remains. But should the cyborg be destroyed, it's game over. Be careful what you land on and where you choose to stand.

A game where you are a newly constructed cyborg composed entirely of metal who has awakened to find the factory deserted. With no other imperative, you are trying to escape the factory while remaining unscathed. Hazards include giant magnets which will pull you off your way or across gaps, catwalks that unhinge if you stand on them too long, vats of acid, conveyer belts and crushers, and corrosive rain falling through gaps in the broken roof.

Find a way out while replenishing your electricity reserves at various power stations in order to refuel your functions, and find some answers as to what happened while you were being constructed that could have left this factory in such disarray.
