One of the more important points it keeps making in different ways (at least once from the perspective of the original being copied and several times from the perspective of the resulting copy) is that you aren’t ever ‘transferring” your consciousness, but rather always copying it, meaning there are additional copies afterwards. Conversely, “you” always remain yourself. The uploaded consciousness is always a different person from the moment the program starts running. Which is to say they were the same person as you up until the moment the copy process completed. It’s a great game btw, easily among the best I’ve played over many decades. Came out in 2014, iirc

Please wait...
