A game by Point 5 Projects for PC and Mac, originally released in 2013.
In Bad Bots, you play the part of Sam A. McRae, a ship’s mechanic aboard the spacefaring Titan Hauler, where the robots have gone bad. An artificial intelligence known as Dana was installed in the ship’s mainframe, but when she was scheduled to be decommissioned, she reprogrammed the vessel’s robots to murder the 476 member crew. You awaken from your cryo tube to discover that the rest of the crew is dead and that you have been tossed into the ship’s compactor to be killed yourself.
Also in the compactor is a robot named Mother (a reference to the movie Alien) who is the Titan’s historian and record keeper. When Mother disobeyed Dana, she was dismembered tossed into the compactor as well. You pick her up and strap her to your back, grab an axe, and smash your way out of the compactor before you are both crushed. While your new companion lacks appendages, she does provide a bit of narrative exposition along the way.
