About this game
Story
The machines came early - built by man, perfected by themselves, and then they cut us out. CortexSync, the company that gave them minds, lost control... or maybe handed it over. Now they run the networks, the signals, the street and everything else built by humans. You’re a shadow in their building, one of the last with a pulse.
Your control chip has been damaged and your neural charge is limited. Sliding, knifing or focused aim are costly. Be fast, clean and keep your flow to achieve a full brain-to-chip synchronization and be able to freely draw from latent, untapped cortical reserves.
Your goal in AIgent is to destroy the satellite that keeps CortexSync’s AI grid online. Each floor is locked tight, guarded by machine shells wearing human faces. The only way up is through them. Kill them, clone their access code, unlock the elevator. But be warned: if you destroy the body, the chip is lost - choose your weapon wisely. Use the knife for a clean kill, or aim for the head if you need to shoot. Floor by floor, enemy by enemy. Reach the top, destroy the signal, and shut them down - for good.
Gameplay Features
