About This Game

A GOD'S GREATEST SIN IS THE BIRTH OF ITS CREATION

Panopticon does not reveal its secrets. So you are going to have to learn them on your own. So you will die. A lot. But metal is cheap, and parts can be swapped. Thus, you can keep trying as much as you need. It is not you catching the bullets anyway.

Experience:

• Over 3000 lines of dialogue

• 6 unique Endings

• 7 unique Bosses

• Almost 200 unique Upgrade pick-ups

• And much more

C424 "Cara" - Gen 4 Combat Android

Your weapon. Your arms and legs. The instrument to enact your will. She is yours to command and yours to do with as you see fit.

Or your trusted partner, your missing half, and maybe, even your friend. It all depends entirely on you.

Each run will leave its mark on her body.

Take care of her well!

Deep, Multi-Layered Lore

Explore Strata 13 and discover the origins and horrors of the Human-Android conflict that spans millennia.

Learn about the fractured humanity, shattered and spread through the hundreds of Strata which encompass the Megastructure and the vicious Androids, organized into an ultimate extermination force, trying to hunt humanity down to extinction.

Fight, Unlock, Upgrade

Defeat enemies and use the data and upgrades you collect to turn C424 into a weapon that fits your playstyle. If only fate would be so kind as to give you what you need. But the Admin must make do.

Will you trade speed for defense?

Make your bullets bounce between targets?

Or bypass all safety restrictions to triple  your fire rate? 

About the Project

Developed independently as a solo project with a bit of help from some very good friends. I wanted to see how far I push the idea of ASCII art. This is the result: Story, lore, crazy action beats and a "must protect" companion in the form of C424.
