STORY SPOILERS BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! \/ \/ The story follows the newest model robot that has been bought by a huge company. This company is mining to the center of the universe (which is inconveniently located within the core of a huge planet.) in hopes of finding the heart of the universe, a being with the power to grant any pure-hearted wish. The CEO says he wants to use this wish for world peace! (He just wants to wish for money lol. And it's pretty obvious.) You are tasked with continuing to mine towards the center, following paths created by robots before you. (They couldn't get to the center before as the core was too hot, and your model is the only one that can withstand those temperatures.) You go through many layers of the planet and get many upgrades, until you reach the heart. At that moment, the CEO (communicating through a screen) makes his wish: infinite money. The heart obviously denies this, as the wish is not pure-hearted and is only made in self interest. The CEO then decides to mine the heart and sell its ore (as the heart is made of gems) this enrages the heart and, assuming you have the same morals as the CEO, attacks you. This is the final battle, and two different endings can be reached depending on if you attack the heart or if you don't. So that's the basic outline of the story. Hope that helps!
