Robot City - Part 14

That came together nicely. Katherine is in trouble in Avery's office in the Upper Compass Tower. The endgame is in sight, and it's time to face Dr. Avery and whatever he's been working on. As a precaution, Alpha will need to go to Personal Defense mode rather than Logic.

You might notice all the other skill cubes Alpha has. Three of them are blown out (sadly including Entertainment). The other module, Robotics, presumably gives Alpha more information about how robots work, which might come in handy for solving puzzles. However, I honestly forget what it can be used for. Maybe it helps explain the Key to Perihelion.

Only one video to go!

Robot City is a 1995 adventure game by Byron Preiss Multimedia and Brooklyn Multimedia. Stranded on a distant and self-sufficient robot-run planet, an amnesiac identified as "Derec" must prove his innocence in murder mystery that invokes Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. With help from Alpha, a robotic sidekick capable of deductive reasoning, the players must assemble clues, gather evidence, and use Asimov's laws to manipulate the city's positronic inhabitants. Limited exploration windows provide brief chances to explore new parts of the planet through mine shafts and a massive subway system.
