Got a pretty cool, somewhat indescribable indie for ya’ll to check out. It’s called AUTOMATONS and harkens back to the feel of 50’s era SciFi. Here’s the skinny:
Somewhere in the distant future, The Girl is alone. She is the last of her people, the others having died in a generations-long war that the girl continues to fight with the assistance of a group of antiquated robot helpers and soldiers.
Her only connection to her long-dead people is a collection of recorded journal entries made by the scientist who cared for her as a baby. His is the only friendly human face she’s ever seen. The regular transmissions from her enemy’s leader are always filled with threats and taunts. The girl responds to these invasions by attack of her own, carried out by her mechanical soldiers on the contaminated surface where no human can survive.
Men started this war. The machines will finish it.
Cool concept, and the trailer is a lot of fun. This is probably a get it or don’t get it kind of project, but in my case I was definitely grooving to the vibe. Lumber on over to the Official Site to see if this tale twists your screws.
