## Story & Plot

A company called the Cybersoul Corporation slowly began making and selling more products within more industries and markets until revenue was high enough to lobby governments to allow more unethical practices and begin building a cyborg militia. Once Cybersoul's private military was sufficient in size, the company eliminated the governments it no longer needed and began to govern the world itself. Recently, one of their cyborg ninjas noticeably started to develop a sense of self-awareness, beginning to question his actions and allegiance to Cybersoul's cause.

This comes while Cybersoul is attempting to acquire The Daily Journal, the one newspaper on the planet that Cybersoul does not currently own. The acquisition is important to keeping one of their investigative reporters, Leslie Cortez, from publicly releasing evidence of the company's most questionable practices. In an attempt to further avert the possible scandal, the company has given their lead researcher Dr. Fatfuck free reign over his work and his own separate facility under a subsidiary, which he named Mengele Labs, LLC.

### Rating

 Developer's "Unrated" logo

During early development there was an internal discussion between lead developer An00bus and the acting cast about whether the level of violence he had planned for the first boss encounter was acceptable, with the cast generally feeling that some of the execution would be too sadistic, unnecessary, and arguably constituted sexual violence, while An00bus maintained that he wanted to incorporate the his uncensored vision into the game. The final decision became to leave any content that would be acceptable within a Mature-rated title in the base game, and create a patch with the content that would garner an Adults-Only rating as downloadable content.

During the initial submission process to the Microsoft store, both the censored and uncensored versions of the game were given initial ratings by the IARC. The uncensored content was given an AO rating, despite no rating changes within any other territories.
