Welcome to a Sci-Fi Detective Adventure Where You Voice Your Character!

Bot Colony _redux allows you to fully voice your character without resorting to dialogue trees.

TALK TO ROBOTS TO UNRAVEL A MYSTERY OF INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE

A Sci-Fi Story You Play by Talking

Bot Colony _redux is a story-driven sci-fi adventure where conversation isn’t just flavour - it is the gameplay. You speak naturally to characters, and they understand you. They’ll answer your questions, follow your commands, or surprise you with their own thoughts. They’re not lifeless quest-givers - they have distinct personalities, moods, and agendas. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by dialogue trees, this is your chance to break free. Explore, investigate, and solve problems your way… just by talking.

THE JOB

You’ve just been hired by Nakagawa Corp, a huge Japanese robotics company, for an unusual gig: track down a spy who infiltrated their R&D facility on Agrihan Island. Every episode in Bot Colony _redux is a chapter in a bigger mystery, and each one has its own unique setting, characters, and gameplay to master.

THREE EPISODES. THREE VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES


EPISODE I: INTRUDER

There's trouble brewing in this high tech paradise: Top secret prototypes have gone missing and Nakagawa’s competitors would love to get their hands on them. Before you get hired to begin the search on Agrihan, the security chief puts you through a series of tests: can you control a robot with your words and uncover clues to reveal its memories? Practice your robot cognition prowess to dig up answers before the trail goes cold!


EPISODE II: ARRIVAL



You land on Agrihan, but something’s off. The coastal airport is run entirely by robots, and they’ve been patched with Update 237 - which reprograms them to "Do As People Do”. As the bots become distracted by their new goal to emulate human behaviour, a crisis unfolds before you can even unpack! Your personal assistant Miki-05 will be on hand to help you navigate the twists and turns at the airport as you encounter anti-robot terrorism firsthand.
 

EPISODE III: RIOT

Fly a Hunter Bot to an oil rig where chaos has erupted. The robot workers staged a mutiny and exiled the rig’s human staff! The bots adopt political views and split into opposing factions: communists, capitalists, and eco-defenders. To survive, you’ll need to appeal to their ideology. Later you’ll face the “Humanity Test” - a twist on Blade Runner’s Voigt-Kampff test. Except this time, robots are holding you captive… and you’ll need to prove you’re human to make it out alive!
 

AN EXOTIC FUTURE WORLD AWAITS

We built Agrihan Island in Unreal Engine 5.5 for rich visuals, atmosphere, and detail you can get lost in. Every bot you meet is designed for their role, from baggage handlers to hunters -  with gestures, expressions, and voices that illustrate their new goal: to emulate people! An original soundtrack adds to the island’s tense, futuristic vibe.

START PLAYING FOR FREE. YOUR WORDS SHAPE THE STORY

Bot Colony _redux is free to download and get started. Want to keep exploring beyond that? We’ve included a convenient usage-based currency system. Every playthrough is different because you choose what to say. Conversations branch not from pre-written choices, but from the actual words you use. Maybe your investigation and dialogue strategy lets you uncover secrets that other players don’t! We’ve integrated cutting-edge AI and speech tech (Azure speech-to-text, GPT‑5, Elevenlabs’ emotive speech) to make sure the interactions feel natural and responsive.
 

FIFTEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING

Bot Colony (2014) was ahead of its time; the tech just wasn’t ready for the vision we had. We never stopped chasing it. Now, in 2025, Bot Colony _redux finally delivers what we dreamed of: a future sci-fi narrative you can play using unrestricted speech, talking to nuanced characters who respond with intelligence, humour, and emotion.This game offers something for fans of many genres, and gives players the freedom to shape the story with their own words. This isn’t “press X to select an answer.” This is actual conversation with no limits on what you can say as you play.

Replay It. Rewrite It.

In 2032, The Future Listens to You.

Your Voice Decides the Future.
