Suddenly, a beam of light hits him. He wakes up sometimes later inside a sort of underground graveyard, pieces of dismantled robots surrounding him. In a traditional digital comic/text adventure game fashion, the screen shows a large view of the surroundings. and the bottom displays simple action commands such as see, take or push.
