Lore of ‘The Glitch’ world:

It’s the year 2355, humans lost in the great battle against artificial intelligence. However, instead of eliminating their creators, the AI hive mind allowed the remaining humans to upload themselves into the cloud database to help with its decision making abilities. This data base relied on human memories of the past to make judgement calls in the present.

One day the system experience a glitch and lost archives from the early 2000s. A human consciousness needed to be awoken to recover this memory module. Artificial Intelligence Devon was tasked with helping the human to re-discover the past and repair the damaged module. As the player progresses through the levels, there are small hints that the damaged mainframe was caused by survivor humans in the real world still fighting against the system.

Evaluation of concept:

I really like the idea of a post humanist environment for an interactive story, this is something that will prove to be tricky to implement. So far I am looking at using a 3D game engine, specifically Unity for this.
