Machine

MACHINE seeks to imagine a life where our gods are corporate, our spirituality is measured by our contribution to the bottom line, and our humanity is a by-product of productivity. 

Still in the conceptual stages, MACHINE will grow and evolve with the player’s involvement, as power is lost and gained within a corporate-driven and media-saturated world.

Taking its cues from properties such as Blade Runner and The X-Files to games like Bullfrog’s Syndicate, MACHINE promises to immerse participants in a virtual world of suspicion, paranoia, and mystery as they delve deeper into the world.

MACHINE will be developed further through a Story of the Future mentorship with acclaimed games writer Matt Costello.
