Escape an aggressive anti-virus in Master Reboot while piecing together your memory

| Master Reboot

All most people want is to leave some sort of legacy on this planet. You know, so that their time alive isn't totally for nothing.

In Master Reboot's sci-fi future, the Soul Cloud enables you to figuratively live on forever.

To explain... the Soul Cloud is a place where you can upload all of your memories so that loved ones - and the digital representation of you - can visit them.

There's something else... The afterworld

This digital afterlife is the setting for Master Reboot, Wales Interactive's first-person psychological horror / puzzle game for Vita.

At the beginning of the game, your digital representation travels in a monorail to its memory island, where it will remain forever more. But the ride is cut short by some kind of sabotage, and you end up somewhere unknown in the Soul Cloud.

You've got two problems at this point. Firstly, you need to find your memories and solve the puzzles to unlock them. You'll travel through endless labyrinths, an abandoned circus, and a bottomless graveyard tower during your voyage.

Once your memory bank is sufficient, you can attempt to piece together your identity and hopefully discover why someone launched an attack on you.

The second problem, however, is the Soul Cloud's anti-virus, which blames you for the destruction and is aggressively pursuing you. You'll have to escape this nightmarish spectre from time to time.

Sounds intriguing, right? Wales Interactive is launching the PC version of Master Reboot on October 29th. The console and Vita versions should surface some time after that.

We'll let you know precisely when you can expect Master Reboot on your Vita as soon as we do.
