The human pilot within the combat suit is unconscious, and it is ARID’s duty to protect him at all costs!

Obscure puzzle solutions
A really good scifi short story. The gameplay is a sidescroller/shooter with point and click style puzzles. These puzzles generally centre on strict protocols that AIs have and finding exploits and workarounds for them, this was inventive and created an interesting story. Some of these puzzles were far too obscure and just unsatisfying to solve because I found the solution by chance or trial and error. The game looks pretty good but definitely nothing impressive. The voice acting was well done. The story was really interesting, it revolves around artificial intelligence and one robot’s quest to save its master, but it is short and doesn’t show off much variety. The story that was there was entertaining and some of the writing made me laugh out loud. Well worth a play.
