# Directive: Adapt

Inert Machine detected. Directive: Adapt via observation. Directive: Adapt, Run.


You woken up, a machine with only the barest of instructions. You have an incredible ability built in to observe, assimilate, mimic and ADAPT most of everything around you. But without a proper function, what are you supposed to do with your sentience? the only solution is to adapt to your lack of purpose and create your own directives.

This game was made for the 2025 Gimersia Gamejam.


The theme of the Gamejam pushes participants to observe, learn, and adapt existing games, their functions and the design to create something impressive in 7 days.

For this game we were inspired by very exploratory heavy ACTION games, action game in general, Monster Hunter's world and ecology design and the main gameplay loop of "rainworld".


From these game we designed an action games with heavy emphasis on exploring, learning the world around you, memorizing the map and enemies. Adapting and constantly figuring out what method is best to move forward. Your player is a robot with the abilities to also observe, mimic, and adapt. A cute way to show how a theme can also be used to write a story.
