This is a Silverlight 5, Out-of-Browser (update: now also Windows desktop!) game in which you (as the villain) are an AI that has gone quite mad, and starts killing all the crew on the space station that it oversees.

There's a tutorial to explain the gameplay, but in quick summary - left click to select, right click to give orders, WASD to scroll. Don't get spotted murdering people or doing anything suspicious, or the crew will shut you down. In Windows, hit Esc to exit.

Enjoy!

(Please note - the path finding is a bit slow over long distances, so if you click further that 7-8 squares away, especially near the end, the game might take a minute to work out the path)

Could probably port to XNA, though that means installing XNA instead ;)

There should be an option to skip the dialogue.

Very nice, graphics were ok, gameplay was good the pathfinding was nice but I crashed it when I tryed to go from the airlock to the incinerator.
I'm glad I played again though because the ending was worth it, very nice theme integration. atmosphere was good, with music it would have been awesome.

Liked the plot you had going on, but after making a mistake I had to restart and sit through the intro text again. :(

The text is horrifyingly difficult to sit through. Consider adding a skip option in the future. Well done overall. Fun concept, fun to play.

I think the consequence for losing is a bit to high. Skip text would have been nice

well the unskipable text really dissuaded me from playing a second time despite the fact I really wanted to explore the game further after my first death. The story telling was ok but you really need to make the text prompt faster and skipable for the people who already know it.

Now ported to Windows, using Monogame!

you should add a text skipping button

all the dialogue made this unnecessarily slow-moving and the controls were kind awkward. otherwise, i liked the writing quite a bit and you had a good concept.

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna sit through several minutes of text every time someone sees me.

I got the same crash going from airlock to incinerator, and the hours of unskipable text precluded another attempt at the game.
All in all, I'm pretty impressed with this. The unwilling villain is a very good interpretation. I could see this working as a very good game with more polish.
