What is this?

Therefore iAm is a roleplaying game set in the nearish future about artificially intelligent robots, or “automatons”, gaining sentience and seeking freedom. The story takes place over three acts, with each act encompassing not only its own tone, but also its own mechanics. 

Character creation is worked directly into the story, meaning your character is always evolving through the acts.

(Note: While this game tackles the subject of artificial intelligence, no artificial intelligence was used in the creation of this game. All art and writing is human-made.)

Identity Tracker

Therefore iAm features the Identity Tracker, inspired by Rise of the Apes' "STRENGTH Tracker", but focused on the robots' growing sense of self rather than their communal strength.
