In the year 2073, apocalyptic environmental conditions have forced humanity into a single city: The underground metropolis Pralaya. Here, humanity has survived under the rule of K.A.L.I.: an unfathomably intelligent AI who manages every aspect of day-to-day life, from nourishment to housing to transportation.

As of three days ago, K.A.L.I. has gone rogue. She has locked down every household in the city; those who attempt to enter the street are shot and killed. You are a software engineer responsible for the training and maintenance of K.A.L.I. You have been sent by the government to diagnose the root cause of her aberrant behavior, and, if necessary, terminate her.
