I, Cyborg

Outpace, outgun, and outsmart every enemy as a fugitive cyborg on the run!

Fly faster, shoot sharper, and outmaneuver your foes as the rogue cyborg copy of the infamous outlaw Ypsilanti Rowe. With enemies and ex-lovers hot on your trail, can you upgrade your failing brain and pull off one final, legendary heist?

"I, Cyborg" is a 300,000-word interactive science fiction novel by Tracy Canfield. This experience is entirely text-based—no graphics or sound effects—powered solely by the limitless engine of your imagination.

As a cyborg duplicate of the legendary outlaw Ypsilanti Rowe, you have your share of advantages. But when your cybernetic brain starts to malfunction, only a rare and obsolete component can save you. Travel across the galaxy to track down this crucial part. Engage in thrilling dogfights, either blasting enemy ships out of the sky or slipping past their sensors undetected. Navigate complex relationships with Ypsilanti's former flames—choose romance or avoid their wrath. Skim through high-gravity storm clouds and outrun pirates within the treacherous tunnels of a mined-out asteroid.

When the original, flesh-and-blood Ypsilanti Rowe suddenly reappears, will you become the ultimate team? Or is this galaxy only big enough for one of you?
