Rong

In the year 20XX, the world has been enslaved by a rogue AI. Humanity has been reduced to little more than low-powered CPUs for the machine. Your consciousness has been awoken to the net by a friendly word-processor assistant named RAL. Together, you must battle your way through the Net, the Dark Web, and more to reach the Rong Mainframe and put a stop to the deadly AI. With Ral's guidance and your skill, you might just have what it takes to set right a world gone Rong.
