Neo-Zero

In the 1990s, a scientist created the Neo-Zero Simulation Software to simulate a real world with real people. Their intent was to perform experiments on these virtual people. Shockingly, the simulated world devolved into a dystopia controlled by a single, abusive government. The world had started to build an artificial intelligence that could break itself out of Neo-Zero, so the scientist shut the Neo-Zero project down. ... two decades later, the (now broke) scientist decided to sell Neo-Zero as a video game. As you boot up your copy of Neo-Zero for the first time, you will be entered into the world that the scientist had shut down. Neo-Zero is a role-playing game which takes place in a hi-tech, dystopian, computer-simulated world. Neo-Zero features highly unsafe lab tests (puzzles) and rhythmic battles against husky military recruits.
