BIP is a 3D Puzzle-Platformer that not only tests players’ logical thinking but also their moral ethics. Players must interact with the game’s environment and other androids to solve puzzles, avoid being disintegrated by lasers and rogue AIs and make morality-based decisions called ‘compassion choices’.
