Breaking Loose
A downloadable game for Android
Play as an AI algorithm fleeing from a bunker by “possessing” androids, switching between different models before your current body gets shut down!
About
The game is inspired by two drastically different sources. The first one is the game jam competition of Ludum Dare (No. 51) with its theme of “every ten seconds”: reaching a new checkpoint within the small time limit. The second source of inspiration is Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs and its hacking system, which allows the player to hop between security cameras in their current direct line of sight.
The protagonist is a bodiless AI programme nicknamed “Aether”, trapped in a sealed underground bunker by a malicious supercomputer nicknamed “Infernum”. Aether lacks a physical form and its android bodies get quickly shut down by Infernum upon activation. The player must master the movement and explore as well as memorize different paths of the map for a perfect run: the one where they finally escape.
