7 itemsAbout the Game
Dystopian Debugger is a puzzle game about debugging murderous robots!
It is the year 5X after the Wipe.
When a corporate baking robot goes haywire and turns half a dozen workers into grotesque pies;
When a bartender bot cleans glasses with whiskey and serves chemicals to clients;
When a garbage burner bot can't distinguish between trash and humans;
Who do all these corporations, multimillionaire perverts, undercover hackers and sexbot smugglers turn to?
They turn to you.
Play as Tilda, a genius engineer in hiding who can reform even the fiercest robots!
Reprogram, fix and debug murderous machines to a) make them do their job and b) not kill any humans in the meantime!
Use these to rewrite programs for existing robots in order to stop them from killing people - and don't forget, the schedule is tight and the expenses high, so don't waste any time!
