Storyline

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...Read more
