Inside Cyborg
What it is
A science fiction text adventure game in which an artificial intelligence is electronically merged with your body as the result of a scientific experiment. Your mission is to find a source of energy to keep you alive. The game uses a text parser, except for character interaction, during which you choose a question from a predetermined list.
The premise
You awaken in a strange inhospitable environment. You have no idea who you are, where you are or what you're doing there. All you know is that you are hungry...very hungry.
Slowly, painfully, you pull yourself to your feet. You feel an odd stiffness on your left side. You hear a weird electronic buzz in your head. You catch a rippling reflection in a small puddle, and suddenly you remember: the Operation! You have been transformed into a Cyborg - half human, half cybernetic.
An extremely advanced computer has been planted into your brain. Half your body has been replaced with sophisticated bionics. Your machine-half gives you new, undreamed-of-powers - but you have paid for this gain with the loss of half of your humanity.
You begin wandering in search of sustenance. Slowly, your two half-brains begin to mesh. New perceptions emerge. As you grow stronger, your memory begins to return, and the computer brain's memory cells repair themselves. You begin, finally, to sense why you have been put here...and what you must do to get out...
