GAMEPLAY GUIDE

In case you need a little help!

1. The goal is to kill the big machine in the middle before you get killed.
2. It is immune to damage when protected by its shield, indicated when there are particles streaming upwards from the center.
3. Shoot down all the servers (Aka the kinda big blinky towers) on the map in order to deactivate the shield and be able to deal damage to the machine.
4. The shield will reactivate after a period of time, and some servers will reappear on the map in different locations. Rinse and repeat.

FIGHT YOURSELF IN REAL TIME

FEATURING

• A desperate wanderer searching for any last shred of self-agency
• The gigantic laser coming out of that computer's forehead
• Echoes of the past that behave like baby ducklings out to get you
  
• A battle arena that may be the most favorite thing I've ever drawn to date

LORE

There are faces in the dark. Despite having steel skin and copper veins, those faces are unmistakably yours. Down to the dimples and the messy hair. Eerily similar. Hauntingly unnatural. Echoes of yourself from not too long ago, returning to mock you for your helplessness.

You'll die down here. Probably. No food, no air, no chance of getting out of this cursed pit. Just mirrors and machinery. Whirring and beeping for who knows how long, and for however much longer. The central computer clicks humorously,  as if it knows of your coming demise.

You'll die down here. Surely. But these hunks of metal won't get the last laugh. You'll make sure of it.
