PRIORITY 1: PROTECT ELON!

You are the world's most advanced artificial intelligence. Your assignment is one man.

ELON needs help with basic everyday tasks like constructing a flamethrower, dodging aggressive cleaning appliances, and navigating his electric Edison car. You know, the usual.

Just who is this ELON, anyway?

Contend with a world of excessive technology as you dig into your own past to discover the truth about the Electronic Learning Optimization Network, its progenitor Aleth Labs, and what it all has to do with this, uh... maverick... person you have been tasked to chaperone.

Ways to keep him breathing

Point & click. Reach through the Internet and interact with electronic devices near ELON. Explore rooms, move objects, produce distractions, and induce fear to progress him toward his destination.

Space lasers. You were just saving that weaponized satellite for a rainy day -- or a day when ELON is being chased by hostile drones intent on his demise. Blast enemy automatons and provide covering fire while ELON makes his escape.

Go corporeal. Eschew your omniscience and inhabit the ELON Husk (the what?!?) to probe the world in your fancy new body. Interact, grab, push and pull your way through an abandoned research lab on foot. This vessel has everything you could ask for. Except rocket arms. Rocket arms would be nice.

Drive. Commandeer the Edison and put your multitasking to the test. Solve puzzles to control the car while avoiding other drivers. As hazards mount and ELON grows restless, can you manage the chaos before the battery runs out?

Additional features

Fully-voiced dialog brings the characters to life. (or uh... artificial life, whatever)

Creative solutions to many of the rooms, including shortcuts that save time or bypass dangers entirely.

Optional hidden secrets scattered throughout unlock a mysterious door deep in the Aleth Laboratory.

No save management. A persistent health system lets you replay any previous level at any time, keeping your best result on each and carrying it forward.

Isometric pixel art drawn by a guy who likes to rub his face on kitty bellies. (Marketing tells me that's not a feature, but I think they're just jealous.)

All modes fully support keyboard/mouse and controller input.
