About this game
Glitched Out tells the story of IT Engineer ‘Lex’, who wakes in a government research facility to learn a malware has run rampant. The facility is home to many alien entities who have escaped containment and now stalk our hapless hero through the complex. Lex’s only hope is to team up with an A.I companion known as ‘Chip’ and hack her way to freedom. Along the way Lex and Chip encounter a host of entities, both friendly and hostile, as they seek to uncover the mysterious origin of the security outbreak. (*No actual A.I used in the creation of this game!)
The Federal Bureau of Containment was set up to house the many terrifying horrors of the cosmos. Now these monsterous entities have escaped confinement and rampage around the facility unchecked. Lex must use her wits, and ever growing arsenal of tech upgrades, to evade and combat these horrifying creatures.
Glitched Out features a nifty hacking device known as the 'Portable Glitch Fixer'. Via a selection of hacking mini-games, this handy tool allows users to fix corrupted power units on the fly and restore power to the facility. With a little help from state of the art A.I companion 'Chip', that is.
Glitched Out is an episodic horror game. The story unfolds chapter by chapter. Lore is revealed via cutscenes, environmental storytelling, audio recordings and secret notes. Uncover the truth behind the sinister goings-on at the Federal Bureau of Containment.. if you dare.
