Sapience

Welcome to the world of Sapience!

The last city on this planet sits atop an island surrounded by a vast ocean. With the planet’s sentient species all but wiped out, this island is inhabited by humanoid robots built to replace the planet’s former residents. Far above the island floats another city that is home to the last biological beings left: the board members and executives of the few remaining corporations. Every robot hopes to join these beings in their floating palace someday, and they work hard to make it a reality. Play as robotic siblings X3 and X4 as they explore their world, learn more about their places in it, and discover who truly controls their fates.

The first chapter of Sapience is now in alpha!
