The Game

Everything and the Diode

Finally Ready for Lift Off!

Chris and Kevin, founders and robot enthusists, began this game 10 years ago. Then Kevin started a real estate software company that took all his time, and Chris went to Dubai to start designing the world’s fair (no kidding - he hob nobs with Saudi Princes (do you hob nob, or hob knob, with princes?)) and this amazing game, Everything and the Diode, languished.

But now its time has come again! The world’s fair is over, and Kevin sold his software company, and there are robots everywhere, just begging to see the light of gameplay!

We’re not sticking our neck out

by saying - you’ll LOVE this game!*

It’s whimsical and weird and full of surprises. It starts when a giant mechanical dictionary thunders into a backwater solar system, capturing four planets who have to find their way out. Within the pages they find a forbidden love story that could redefine robot society forever.

Navigate this living book as words become physical objects, discover hidden maintenance tunnels between entries, help the mysteriously censored Elocution Robot communicate with a resistance movement of tiny diodes working from inside the dictionary's labyrinthine maintenance tunnels.

Solve physics-based puzzles, evade the watchful Universal Law Givers, and uncover why robot "weight classes" are enforced with such ruthless dedication. When knowledge itself is controlled, sometimes a dictionary must take matters into its own mechanical claws.

* his neck is a different matter.

Meet the Diodes …

Hell hath no fury like a Diode … locked inside a giant space going dictionary and prevented from seeing her beloeved. She and her millions of tiny allies (we’re talking bread-crumb sized robots, the really, really small ones) are prepared to mount a revolution if that’s what it’s going to take to reunite her with her cherished one. Which … yes. That is what it’s going to take.

The Gameplay Loop

On the one hand it’s as simple as paging through a dictionary - if that dictionary was a galactic space faring emissary of robot knowledge. But on the other hand, when you start looking you realize that every page holds secrets. Everything is moving, the definitions keep changing, there are explosive ejector switches and portals deep into the bowels of the book - because it is, as we’ve already pointed out, an enormous space vessel holding huncreds of millions of individual robots.

If that seems like a lot of robots to you, it means you’ve been paying attention. Congratulations! You’ll need to all your attention if you’re going to make it through this space book, as, one by one, hundreds of millions of robots help you, hinder you, decieve you and enlighten you.

And at the end, you must make a choice. Is one robot’s love worth the destruction of the dictionary itself?
