In the distant future, few creatures remain.
You wake up as a broken robot—your memories fragmented, your purpose unclear. The only thing that drives you forward is the sight of a lone cat, darting through the ruins. Instinct takes over—you must chase it. But as the pursuit intensifies, the world around you begins to whisper forgotten truths.
Will you fix yourself... or uncover a truth too devastating to fix?
BitFlip is a narrative-rich 2D platformer with minimal UI, immersive storytelling, and an emotionally resonant twist. It challenges players not just with puzzles and platforming, but with existential choices embedded in level design.
