HVZ GAME 2026 INFO
Taking inspiration from Robots (2005), Terminator, Marvel's Ultron, and other robotic media, players are invited to test their merits against the best machines an A.I. can provide.
In an alternate timeline where Athens, OH's foundational focus was rooted in industry instead of academics, The Factory rose to be the top dog in the corporate robotics field.
However, not everything that comes off the assembly line is what it initially appears to be...
Come see what happens when a lack of corporate oversight meets an overly efficient A.I system and proves why Asimov's Four Laws of Robotics may not always be enough.
