Description
Rise takes you to a future world, highly industrialised, where technologies
have developed and crashed together to create a supreme super-tech society.
Over centuries of technical progress, the planet has paid a heavy price. Life
is only sustainable in huge city-states that constitute civilisation, the land
and oceans beyond have been plundered for raw materials and are irretrievably
polluted. Now, all life support: food, water and breathable air is
manufactured in population centres. A ruling politico-military class controls
the production of these resources and manipulates the human underclasses
accordingly. Internal social disorder is commonplace, both military and trade
wars between city states are regularly instituted as a means of population
control.
The servants of society are robots. The city state Metropolis 4, the setting
for Rise, is the home of Electrocorp, the planet's major robot manufacturer.
Electrocorp produce a huge range of machines for all possible applications,
ranging from crude industrial droids right up to highly sophisticated military
and bio-simulatory models. The Electrocorp manufacturing complex is entirely
run by droids, managed day-to-day by the ultimate in robot technology, the
polymorphic Supervisor class droid. The Supervisor is unique and has
successfully run the Electrocorp plant for several months, that is, until she
becomes infected by a highly pernicious computer Ego-Virus corrupting her
behavioural programming and creating a vicious psychotic personality.
The only way to stop the Supervisor as she proceeds to take over the factory
and reprogram its robot-workers, is to send in a human-based Cyborg to seek
out and destroy her. You, the player, are the Cyborg. You have been chosen for
this task, you will cause minimum damage to the immensely valuable Electrocorp
plant, you will cause maximum damage to any droid which may try to hinder you
in your mission, you must locate the Supervisor and terminate her activities.
