![]() ![]() As the world tries to erase you as a defect, Chai needs to fight his way out of Vandelay Industries. From this point on, all aspects of the game including combat, cutscenes, and music are tied to the rhythm set by the world around you. ![]() In the process of surgical altering Chai, he is labeled as a defect due to a mishap that implanted his iPod into his chest giving Chai powers to feel the pulse of his music coursing through the world around him. Trying to get a new robotic arm through the Arm-Strong project in the hopes of making himself a “rockstar” is funny despite the fact that Chai doesn’t even know how to play the guitar. We get hit with a cheesy dialog which gives the players a sense that the comedy of the game will be following these basic concepts.
