You're an interrogator, interviewing faulty or rampant "deviants" to determine whether they're good to go, to be repaired, or to be scrapped. The scenario morphs into a growing plot. Remember that your actions matter, for others and for you as well.

Obviously you'd expect to face moral dilemmas, such as an android fit to serve but desired to be scrapped for efficiency, one who desires personal freedom and so on. This is a famous trope in A.I. fiction and the game puts a spotlight on it, too much for my own subjective taste.

Technically the game has issues, at some parts the dialogue trees would suddenly branch or lock off questions in an odd logic, at times I was baffled as it didn't accurately track or update based on what was said and logged. 3D graphics is a big endeavor for such a small team, I felt going 2D would've saved effort and allowed for more asset production overall.

Silicon Dreams isn't exactly what you think it is from the outside, it does some better and some worse, but I believe it's worth a shot.
You only dream when you're awake.
