Delve into the ancient, sprawling ruins of the Mainframe and discover a range of traversal abilities to help you on your journey towards attaining true sapience\. The game has multiple endings based on the players actions; you can repair systems, restore lost data, hack or destroy enemies, all whilst uncovering the truth about the Hypervisor and the original purpose of the Mainframe\. The inhabitants of the Mainframe are strange and diverse, and many are found to be inherently hostile\. A full complement of powerful weapons and abilities are available to help you survive, defend and destroy\. Many environmental features, such locked doors, forcefields, elevators and even enemy spawning systems are all powered by intricate, interconnected logic gate circuitry\. Nothing is hardcoded, everything is systemic, and all fully exploitable\.

Even the inhabitants themselves can be tampered with, their programming changed to follow the player’s commands\. The story explores everything from machine sentience to the nature of choice\. Life and death\. Chaos and determinism\. Sentience and sapience\. Intelligence exists in many forms\. In this dying world, one must explore all possibilities\. Observe and respect all perspectives\. Only then, can we truly survive\.
