Factory Reset

The year is 2099 and technology has taken over every aspect of our lives. Corporations have made everything as convenient and comfortable as can be. But at what cost? Is it really worth losing our independence to machines? What if an unforeseen catastrophe suddenly breaks out?

In Factory Reset you play the mother of three kids, caught up in an city-wide riot. A big drought has wiped out most of the food supplies and people have finally gone to the streets to protest against their corporate overlords. Jump across and through buildings and evade the detection of the drones! Find out what secrets the corporations have hidden from you for so long.

This game was created for the 2019 Game Programming Laboratory at ETH Zürich.
