About the Game

The storyline revolves around the main character, Saba.

One day, Saba decides to turn on the old IBM computer left by his grandfather. While attempting to do so, coffee accidentally spills on the keyboard, causing Saba to crash into the computer and enter the world of IBM.

Throughout the game, the player's goal is to escape this uncertain world and return to the real world. The journey will be challenging, involving tasks such as solving puzzles, learning new skills, defeating bosses, making sacrifices, gathering resources, and more.

In a dramatic twist at the climax, just as the player overcomes all levels and is on the verge of exiting, Saba's girlfriend enters the room, notices the computer is on, and unplugs it, leaving the main character stranded in the world of IBM.

The game world comprises five regions, each varying in difficulty and inhabited by different mythological races.
