DEVELOPER NOTES
I've always been playing adventure games, so when I found out how easy it is to make one in AGS (Adventure Game Studio), I couldn't wait to get started. To put pressure on myself, I entered MAGS - the monthly AGS game jam. The theme was "Censorship" so I immediately thought of a dystopian world wherin a cyborg had to censor himself from being a machine.
The story is a comment on our increased attachment to machines and how this can create a barrier between us and the people we care about. The style was influenced by sci-fi comic books by Moebius and Bilal but in a classic low-res (320x200) adventure game artstyle. Finally I composed the music with a good portion of Vangelis and Klaus Schulze in mind.
