About this game

You receive an email from an unknown sender. Attached is a .ZIP folder containing a single .exe.

The subject line presents a question: Are you Human or Robot?

Play as N0-V4, Dr. (Mari) Machina's latest creation and magnum opus, who undergoes several... bizarre experiments to test its capabilities before the World Robot Conference.

Will it escape the mad scientist's sadistic trials, or will this greatest accomplishment become the greatest detriment?
