Testing Grounds

A robot (you, the player) is being trained by scientists in a lab. Use their cutting edge technology to traverse through the various trials you are putting through.

But it might not be for the best.

As the player progresses through the game, they are unaware of what all the (somewhat suspicious) training is for.

Why do they have to navigate around obstacles, use buttons, and strange, empowering orbs? It seems they are some sort of android being trained to navigate around the world.

They’ll come to realize, however, that they were being trained to be a killer robot this whole time.

This naivety—which is ended by an abrupt realization at the end of the game—is meant to symbolize how most people are unaware of the dangers of artificial intelligence (high energy/water consumption, which drastically affects those in poor areas, a common social issue).

This is our very first game and feedback (especially critiques) are more than welcome!
