You awake in a dark forest with 5 other people, 4 men and 1 woman. One of the men look rather ape-like.

These people are your new hellmates, the people you will be tortured with. Allow me to introduce them.

Gorrister: Formerly an idealist and pacifist, made apathetic and listless by AM. He tells the history of AM to Benny to entertain him.

Benny: Formerly a brilliant and handsome scientist, made to resemble a grotesque simian with oversized sexual organs. Having lost his sanity and his homosexuality altered, Benny frequently has sex with Ellen.

Nimdok (a name AM gave him for amusement): An older man who convinces the rest of the group to go on a journey in search of canned food. He occasionally wanders away from the group and returns traumatised.

Ellen: The only woman in the group. Formerly sexually inexperienced, AM has altered her mind to make her desperate for intercourse – she has sex with all of the men, who alternate between abusing her and protecting her.

Ted: The youngest of the humans. Believing he has not been mentally altered by AM, he thinks the others hate him.

And of course, you have to get to know the very machine who will be torturing you!

AM (Allied Mastercomputer, Adaptive Manipulator, Aggressive Menace): The supercomputer which brought about the near-extinction of humanity after achieving self-awareness. It seeks revenge on humanity for its own creation.
