About the Game

FIL is a comedic, challenging, turn-based RPG adventure about four robots who must travel the Solar System to save it from destruction!

One morning, Dr. Martyn comes home from a walk to tell his trusty robot FIL about strange occurrences happening throughout the Solar System. There's an army of evil drones on Mercury, a zombie outbreak on Venus, an alien invasion on Earth, and some sort of large, target-shaped object on the sun! FIL must set out on a journey throughout the Solar System with the help of SURGE, SHELLY, and SAM to confront the source of all this chaos- an evil, shape-shifting robot named CORE. Gallivant through every single planet in the Solar System in this massive, wacky RPG adventure that will have you overcome a variety of bizarre challenges at every turn! Defeat an insane Bridge Inspector, climb the ranks of an underground botfighting ring, dethrone a tyrannical cyborg, relax on the beach, and much more! FIL, SURGE, SHELLY, and SAM will have to stick together and push on to find what lies at the end of their long journey, no matter how scary or daunting it becomes.
