The facility was built to be self-sustaining, efficient, perfect. The AI was designed to optimize everything. No errors, no risks, no human flaws. But now, the doors won’t unlock. The cameras never stop watching. But the AI insists, it's better this way...

Better This Way is a 2D top down sci-fi adventure about deactivating an AI gone rogue. Avoid traps, cameras and obstacles all while attempting to solve clues and codes to shut down the AI.
