DESCRIPTION	A different take on the typical, side-scrolling adventure. As either a gnome android or a data pixel, your goal is not so much to delete every single file from existence, but to figure out your own existence (if you even can). Game characters are often created and programed to behave as if they were real humans, but what if they realized their true form as nothing more than 1s and 0s? What would they think? Are they really living, or just existing as data? MORE... Because your goal is to find out the truth, fighting random enemies will not be a large part of the game; instead, bosses will be defeated in order to gain knowledge of the "truth" of your character's existence. Aside from the bosses of each zone, players will encounter the Missing, broken data bits left behind from programming bugs. These data characters will help the player through the cyberspace of their creation. The overall theme of the game is based on cyberspace and data, taking the idea of having game characters being aware of their true existence as nothing more than data, yet because they are programmed to be similar to humans, they still yearn to find out the meaning of their creation. Whether or not they find it, or even understand it, is unknown... << BACK
