The story explores everything from machine sentience to the nature of choice. Even the inhabitants themselves can be tampered with, their programming changed to follow the player’s commands. Logic gates can be freely inverted (and reverted), allowing puzzles or other threatening obstacles to be peacefully and safely bypassed. Nothing is hardcoded, everything is systemic, and all fully exploitable. Many environmental features, such locked doors, forcefields, elevators and even enemy spawning systems are all powered by intricate, interconnected logic gate circuitry.
