Temple Of The Machine God

The universe is over.

You wake up in a cryostasis tube. The robots and machines around you are powered down where they stand, and every one of them is facing you. You don't know how long you've been asleep or why.

It appears humanity found a way out of a dying universe. The machines that lived alongside them, that loved them, couldn't follow. So they gathered at the last black hole in existence and built a superstructure in orbit, and they spent everything they had looking for the door.

The machines never found it. What's left is the search: laboratories, workshops, failed experiments that stopped mid-series, all of it running on the last usable energy in the universe. The black hole at the center is evaporating, and the structure is going with it.

Temple of the Machine God is a first-person exploration game. Inspired by early first person retro games, the player must explore and discover the intricate lore that is woven into an engaging atmospheric sci-fi experience . Every hallway, puzzle, encounter and building you explore reveals more about what happened after humanity, and the lengths the Machine God went to follow humans before the death of the universe.
