As Max, you must navigate a swirling conspiracy of corporate espionage, rogue AIs, and hackers. The game unfolds as you engage in conversations with characters via text-based dialogue boxes, where your choices determine the AI's evolution. You can opt to help it break free from its confines or assist the corporations in exploiting the AI for their gain.
