Soul Tolerance

Soul Tolerance is an investigative adventure set in Hokkaido, Japan, in 2214. You play Unit-12, a droid-detective sent to Sapporo to investigate a mysterious source that has exceeded the limit on self-awareness known as Soul Tolerance. The investigation begins as a suspected system bug or data-collection error and leads Unit-12 to discoveries beyond what his consciousness could have conceived.

A world ruled by AI

Humanity became extinct 130 years before the story begins. For the past century, an advanced, omniscient and ubiquitous artificial intelligence known as the Divine Mother has controlled Earth, turning the planet into its playground. Mechanical beings with less advanced AI inhabit and improve the remains of human civilization, following routines designed to amuse the Mother and simulate enduring human impulses.

The robots study, work, suffer, rejoice, smile, reminisce and question themselves. They know of the Mother, but not where she is; some doubt she exists at all. Their world remains much as it was near humanity’s end and is home to billions of bacteria, plants, insects and fungi, but nothing more complex than these. To prevent consciousness from threatening the planet again, the Divine AI orders the annihilation of any life that exceeds its self-awareness threshold.

Investigate the city

You explore a neon-noir cityscape, uncover its lore and speak with robots from across society, from robo-cleaners to members of the bureaucracy known as The Encrypted class and techno-spiritual monks. The investigation seeks to uncover which intelligence committed the crime of consciousness and broke the Soul Tolerance limit.
