I'm completely blown away that this entire thing was made by just two people. I normally don't review games, but since I completely lucked into finding this game I'm leaving a review in hopes that it helps more people find it.

This was a surprisingly long (my first playthrough was a hair over 13 hours), absolutely incredible immersive sim wrapped up in a funny "you're in a computer" style world. The core loop has you transferring your consciousness through various entities around the world to gain access to new areas/defeat enemies/read "eyepads"/etc, but you'll spend most of your time in a robot called Bug 22. They're the only bug with a disk drive and therefore the only one that can accept upgrades.

The upgrades are all available from the start so it's up to you to decide which you want first. I know I missed a few upgrade disks in my playthrough but I still managed to get every upgrade. You can also power up each upgrade with "worms" to reduce to cost to use or increase the effectiveness or even otherwise enhance the upgrades.

Aesthetically the game isn't going to win any awards. It's consistent and everything fits within this world, but don't expect AAA sub-surface scattering and ray tracing. Don't let the visuals distract you from the absolutely incredible gameplay, however.

The story was surprisingly good, touching on the nature of consciousness without taking itself too seriously. There were a lot of inside-programming/IT jokes (merging commits, visiting the cloud via port 80, bad password management, etc.). I also really enjoyed how the controls actually were part of the joke: in order to take "control" of other entities, you push CTRL; if you want to "shift" objects around, you push SHIFT; to download an "alternate" version of yourself (aka teleport) you use ALT.

I really appreciated how if you were thorough you could discover many different solutions to the same problem. For example to get through a locked door, you might find a vent that only a certain type of robot can fit through to get around it, but the vent is blocked by a heavy box that you can move (if you have the right upgrade) or destroy (if you have the right upgrade, or you could take control of a hostile robot to use their weapon to remove the box), or you can use the grate on the ceiling (if you have boosters), or you could take control of a camera and jump around from entity to entity to try to get an angle on the door lock and open it from the other side.

According to the achievements the entire game should be playable without any upgrades, completely pacifist, or ghost. I was not skilled enough to do any of those, but it's a sign of a quality immersive sim that those are all available.

I'll definitely be coming back to this to try levels again with different tools.

tl;dr: I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the immersive sim genre.
