Soar beyond, shoot faster, and outsmart every adversary as a fugitive cyborg outlaw!
Outfly, outgun, and outmaneuver your foes as a renegade cyborg on the run! You are a cyborg replica of the infamous interstellar outlaw, Ypsilanti Rowe, pursued by both enemies and former lovers. Can you enhance your mind and execute one final, legendary heist?
"I, Cyborg" is a 300,000-word interactive science fiction novel by Tracy Canfield. Experience this entirely text-driven adventure, free of graphics or sound effects, powered solely by the limitless engine of your imagination.
While being a cyborg duplicate of the legendary outlaw Ypsilanti Rowe has its perks, your artificial brain is failing. Only a rare, obsolete component can restore it. Traverse the galaxy to find this crucial part. Engage in thrilling starship dogfights, evade detection by scrambling enemy sensors, navigate romantic entanglements with Ypsilanti's old flames, or simply avoid their crosshairs. Skim through high-gravity storm systems and outpace pirates within the treacherous tunnels of a mined-out asteroid.
When Ypsilanti returns in the original flesh, will you form the ultimate duo? Or is this galaxy too small for both of you?
