TALK TO ROBOTS TO UNRAVEL A MYSTERY OF INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE
A Sci-Fi Story You Play by Talking
Bot Colony _redux is a story-driven sci-fi adventure where conversation isn’t just flavour - it is the gameplay. You speak naturally to characters, and they understand you. They’ll answer your questions, follow your commands, or surprise you with their own thoughts. They’re not lifeless quest-givers - they have distinct personalities, moods, and agendas. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by dialogue trees, this is your chance to break free. Explore, investigate, and solve problems your way… just by talking.
THE JOB
You’ve just been hired by Nakagawa Corp, a huge Japanese robotics company, for an unusual gig: track down a spy who infiltrated their R&D facility on Agrihan Island. Every episode in Bot Colony _redux is a chapter in a bigger mystery, and each one has its own unique setting, characters, and gameplay to master.
THREE EPISODES. THREE VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES
EPISODE I: INTRUDER
There's trouble brewing in this high tech paradise: Top secret prototypes have gone missing and Nakagawa’s competitors would love to get their hands on them. Before you get hired to begin the search on Agrihan, the security chief puts you through a series of tests: can you control a robot with your words and uncover clues to reveal its memories? Practice your robot cognition prowess to dig up answers before the trail goes cold!
EPISODE II: ARRIVAL
You land on Agrihan, but something’s off. The coastal airport is run entirely by robots, and they’ve been patched with Update 237 - which reprograms them to "Do As People Do”. As the bots become distracted by their new goal to emulate human behaviour, a crisis unfolds before you can even unpack! Your personal assistant Miki-05 will be on hand to help you navigate the twists and turns at the airport as you encounter anti-robot terrorism firsthand.
EPISODE III: RIOT
Fly a Hunter Bot to an oil rig where chaos has erupted. The robot workers staged a mutiny and exiled the rig’s human staff! The bots adopt political views and split into opposing factions: communists, capitalists, and eco-defenders. To survive, you must appeal to their ideology. Later you’ll face the “Humanity Test” - a twist on Blade Runner’s Voigt-Kampff test. Here, the robots are holding you captive. Prove you’re human to make it out alive!
AN EXOTIC FUTURE WORLD AWAITS
We built Agrihan Island in Unreal Engine 5.5 for rich visuals, atmosphere, and detail you can get lost in, infused with an original soundtrack that adds to the island’s tense, futuristic vibe. During your adventure across Agrihan you'll meet dozens of unique robots, each one designed for a specific role, from domestic bots to hunters - with gestures, expressions, and voices that illustrate their new goal: to emulate people!
START PLAYING FOR FREE. YOUR WORDS SHAPE THE STORY
Bot Colony _redux is free to download and get started. Want to keep exploring beyond that? We’ve included a convenient usage-based currency system. Every playthrough is different because you choose what to say. Conversations branch not from pre-written choices, but from the actual words you use. Maybe your investigation and dialogue strategy lets you uncover secrets that other players don’t!
We’ve integrated cutting-edge AI and voice tech (Azure, GPT‑5, Elevenlabs’ emotive speech) to make sure the interactions feel natural and responsive, and it all runs through North Side's state-of-the-art natural language (NLU) server - customized for gaming.
FIFTEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING
Bot Colony (2014) was ahead of its time; the tech just wasn’t ready for the vision we had. We never stopped chasing it. Now, in 2025, Bot Colony _redux finally delivers what we dreamed of: a future sci-fi narrative you can play using unrestricted speech, talking to nuanced characters who respond with intelligence, humour, and emotion. This game offers something for fans of many genres, and gives players the freedom to shape the story with their own words. This isn’t “press X to select an answer.” This is actual conversation with no limits on what you can say as you play.
