HUMANIZE ROBOTICS is a dual-perspective action roguelike where human intelligence meets machine chaos. You are a corporate worker trapped in a dystopian facility. To survive, you must constantly transfer your mind from your vulnerable first-person human body into a heavily armed, third-person AI robot.
As a participant in The Company's latest initiative, your goal is simple: navigate procedurally generated obstacle courses, solve physical puzzles, and blast your way through hostile encounters. The Company's motto is "Not to Kill!"... which is a totally normal and reassuring thing to say while equipping you with high-explosive weaponry, right?
Forget standard WASD movement. The robot is powered by a pre-trained neural network that manages its own limbs using raw, 100% physics-driven mechanics. You are the tactical commander; the machine handles the execution.
Indirect Control: You specify the destination. The robot calculates the footsteps.
Manage the Parameters: Adjust limb stiffness and decision speed on the fly during intense firefights. Too stiff? The recoil knocks it over. Too loose? It collapses under enemy fire.
Experience a frantic, seamless gameplay loop. Explore and survive the oppressive corporate facility in first-person as a human worker, then instantly project your consciousness into a robotic combat chassis in third-person to clear rooms, solve heavy-duty physics puzzles, and take down threats.
The facility's procedurally generated layouts are designed to break you. Face brutal combat encounters filled with guns, traps, and explosions that will literally tear your chassis apart.
Procedural Damage: Did a stray rocket blow off your robot's leg? Keep shooting. The physics engine allows your machine to dynamically balance on one foot and return fire.
Perma-Death Runs: As long as the head remains, the run continues. If the chassis is destroyed, your mind snaps back to the human worker, and you start your next run.
Death is just a data point. Use the resources gathered during your runs to unlock powerful permanent upgrades and new weapons. Evolve your prototype from a stumbling, clumsy biped into a complex, agile war machine capable of conquering The Company's deadliest floors. Every unique robotic body requires a completely different strategy to pilot.
Why does an AI company need this much firepower? Who is Antonius Greyrat, the mysterious, omnipresent boss who created the AI that subsequently built The Company? Discover the dark humor, satire, and disturbing truths hidden within the corporate logs as you push deeper into the facility. Just remember the golden rule: "Not to Kill!"
