A sinister government agency known only as The Shop has sponsored a
sophisticated experiment involving the use of virtual reality therapy and
mind-altering drugs in an effort to increase human intelligence. When one
of their test subjects, Jobe the simpleton, shows a particular adeptness
for the treatment, they deliberately overdose him in an effort to accellerate
his progress. The effort backfires, resulting in a psychotic intelligence
that is capable of existing as pure energy and who both resides in and
manipulates to his own ends the cyber environment of the world's interlinked
computer systems. Inspired by the feature film starring Pierce Brosnan, itself
loosely based on the original short story by Stephen King under his Richard
Bachman pseudonym.
Mainly a platformer, but features lots of 3D subgames. It's too bad that it's insanely difficult.... |
