Asimov

is a 2.5D isometric rogue-lite game for Steam with a target release for Q4 2022. Players are tasked to work their way through various areas to uncover what has happened to the world following a catastrophic global event. The game blends skill-based, high-speed gameplay with storytelling, portrayed through the characters and world itself.

Yerebat, Armenia is the headquarters of authoritarian corporate company Monkii Corporation. Monkii Corporation rose to power at the peak of the information age— distinguishing itself by making logic circuits using biopolymers.

These microprocessors represented a notable advance in technology as the natural polymers were produced by the cells of living organisms and could be implanted into any biological material.

Users of these implants could replay memories, quickly look up information, and download and subscribe to skills. Unbeknown to the user, these Monkii smart chips also induced chemical manipulation.

Blocking normal sensory input, distorting memories, weakening reason, logic and emotion. Creating addiction. Eroding democracy and created a Single totalitarian State.

Over time, Asimov began to feel murmurations of past memories but dismissed them as dreams or Déjà vu. These murmurations at times became crippling, and Asimov began to investigate.

Looking into subroutines performed by the chips in his head, he discovered Monkii had implanted these murmurations to control him.

Asimov secretly begins to create a patch, however, this patch works too well and plunges the world into chaos.
