Make it to the end of the level, and you’ll get to view the memory, delivered in an amateur, anime-inspired static cut scene. Each level represents a memory, and you can choose the order in which you explore them. Not quite an art game, but still more of an interactive story than anything else, Master Reboot’s strength is the nonlinear way in which that story is delivered.

As you unravel the puzzle, you’ll not only discover who you are, but also unravel the history of the Soul Cloud itself, the tumultuous story of the Mysteri Corporation that built it, and the internecine drama that caused things within the system to get so disjointed and hostile.

Complicating things is a hostile piece of security software, embodied by a glowing-eyed little girl straight out of a Japanese horror movie. For good or for ill, the service’s popularity has caused a massive server crash, fragmenting the memories of its “residents,” and it’s your job to sort things out. Of course, all isn’t well in the Soul Cloud.

Is this a remarkable way to retain a relationship with our deceased friends and relatives? Or another symptom of our society’s denial of our own mortality? Residents can communicate with their still-living loved ones via messages, represented within the Soul Cloud’s user interface by rubber ducks. In this spooky science fiction adventure from Wales Interactive, you’ll explore the Soul Cloud, a computer server that stores digital replicas of the dead, held together by uploaded memories and unfortunately bugged software.
