Mechanical Beast

Description

Mechanical Beast is a game about a self-improving, sentient robot, built with the ability to create and evolve it's own body. That is, until it begins to go out of control, and no known blueprint even applies to the mechanical beast. Players will form a team and dive into the bowels of the gigantic robot, turn off the main control center, and escape before the monolith shuts down and traps them forever!
