About
Androids may dream of electric sheep,but perhaps they dream of so much more.
Silicon Dreams is a game of conversation and interrogation; trust and betrayal.
It’s the future. Everyone has an android: a realistic robot servant. But what happens when those servants disobey, or become a bit too independent?
It’s your job to interview those malfunctioning androids and decide what to do with them. You’ll gain their trust, learn their secrets and come to understand their lives - their struggles in a world that treats them as devices to be consumed. You’ll analyze and manipulate their emotions to get at the truth. For these androids, the stakes are huge: the report you file could be the difference between freedom and getting shut down.
But you’re at risk too: your employer does not tolerate mistakes. Will you sell out these free-thinking androids, or feed your bosses false information to try and save them?
