Mr. Robot is a 3D computer game being developed by Moonpod Games to be published as shareware. Notably the game design attempts to combine the two discreet genres of RPG and platform game. The platform adventure part of the game takes place on-board a spaceship called 'The Eidolon' which is destined for a remote colony planet when things start to go wrong. The player takes the part of 'Asimov', a "lowly service droid", who must attempt to save the humans stored in cryosleep. The RPG element takes place inside a virtual computer world in which the player can hack computer terminals to combating defence computer programs via a turn-based battle system.
