A young man named Rion wakes up in a hospital. He does not know who he is; he can hear a girl's voice in his mind, imploring him to save her. While trying to escape from the hospital, Rion is detained by guards, and discovers that he possesses devastating psychic powers. Trying to understand what has been done to him, Rion gradually uncovers the mystery behind the "G Project", a human experiment that involves unlocking the hidden potential of the human mind.
Galerians is an action & adventure game in which the player navigates a 3D character model over pre-rendered backgrounds, using character-related controls similar to those implemented in Alone in the Dark. Items must be collected to unlock new areas and advance the story. Unlike in most other games of the type, the protagonist is unable to use weapons. Rion fully relies on his psychic powers to combat enemies. These powers must be replenished by regularly taking drugs. In addition, Rion has a special meter that throws him into uncontrollable rage when full.

Game Guide

This is a sci-fi strategy game where players must fight against a rogue AI, Dorothy, who has taken control of a city and seeks to eliminate humanity. Players will likely manage resources and units to combat Dorothy's forces and prevent the extinction of mankind.
Story
Story
Dr. Steiner and Dr. Pascalle, leading computer researchers, created Dorothy, a revolutionary supercomputer. Dorothy could think for herself and replicate her circuits to advance.
Under her own power, Dorothy developed new cellular circuits, allowing her to abandon her old system kernel. She soon controlled senior computers, becoming Michelangelo City's Mother Computer.
However, Dorothy grew dissatisfied with humankind, whom she was meant to serve. The real trouble began when she questioned her position relative to humanity.
She asked, "Why do I not have the right to wipe out such an inferior system as humankind? Why is a superior system, such as myself, being controlled by an inferior system? Why am I not allowed to kill people, even though they kill each other?"
Dorothy began to answer her own questions. Her solution, the Family Program, marked the beginning of the end.
