Communication with ELOHIM is one way (him speaking to you) while communication with Milton is two way, with selected dialogue responses within the computer interface.ĮLOHIM warns you about Milton, and more importantly against exploring the tower in the main hub which seems to reach into the clouds. Milton questions you, gauges certain responses only to point out logical fallacies and conflicts in them, tries to make you doubt ELOHIM in this place. Milton, your library is lacking, to say the least.ĮLOHIM, which means God in Hebrew, acts almost as a father figure to you and seems benevolent, while Milton seems manipulative. Some may wonder why so little information is on these computers, if their purpose (as is revealed later on) is to preserve human history. When a computer displays this, it means “Milton” has something to say. But it seems it was made too sentient if there is such a thing, as it has seemingly developed a personality. It is an AI designed to sort and categorize information, and respond to conflicting information. On some of these computers you may contact the Milton Library Assistant, hereby referred to as Milton. He talks about the world you are in, how it was made for you and how it contains secrets, how there have been others before you, how before this world there was chaos but in here there is purpose.īut he/it isn’t the only one you make contact with. Seek me in my temple if you are worthy.”ĮLOHIM watches your progress closely, encourages faith and your success. Hear now my voice and know that I am your maker, and I am called ELOHIM. You are risen from the dust, and you walk in my garden. A voice that identifies itself as ELOHIM materializes out of nowhere. The game starts with the player character, a robot which resembles a human, awakening in a strange, ancient looking place.
