BOY1 is a turn-based stealth escape puzzle. A robot lies discarded in the tower's deepest dark. The verdict was a single line. Defect: too human. BOY1, a humanoid thrown away by the system that built him, picks up an abandoned FACE and begins to climb the tower, one floor at a time. Take the FACE off and you become a mindless machine, lost among the other robots. The patrols ignore you, but you can't do anything. Put the FACE on and your human abilities awaken. You can open doors, fool the robots and break through walls, but now the machines can see you. Knowing when to take it off and when to put it on is the whole puzzle. Your flaw is the key. A perfectly logical system can only be broken by human illogic. FEATURES Every move is one tile, one turn. When you step, every robot steps along its fixed patrol route Nothing is random. Every floor is a fixed, deliberately designed layout, and reading patrol patterns is the heart of the game Lure, halt, break through. Combine the human abilities that awaken in each zone to slip past the patrols 30 floors, 5 zones. The higher you climb, the more human the robots become, and the less your disguise works 16-bit pixel art, chiptune sound, one-handed portrait play Fully offline, no ads, no in-app purchases Destroy the system and escape.
