Plot

Tyler: Model 005 is set in the 1950s. The protagonist is a miniature robot called Tyler, who awakens from a long hibernation period after getting struck by lightning. He then discovers that his creator has disappeared and his house has fallen into ruin. Tyler's task is to discover what happened to his owner.

Mechanics

The gameplay of Tyler: Model 005 consists of exploring the house, solving puzzles, completing mission objectives, and fighting enemies. The game utilizes a third person's perspective, and sine Tyler is small, chairs, stairs or bookshelves are quire serious obstacles for him. To make things worse, he encounters such opponents as rats, ants, and spiders.

Fortunately, Tyler is not helpless; he uses improvised weapons, such as a hairpin, boxing gloves or firecrackers. Moreover, as the game progresses, you unlock new abilities and passive bonuses, including improved speed, damage resistance or attack power. You can also modify Tyler's appearance, for example changing his casing's color or giving him various helmets, glasses or shoes.

Technical aspects

The game features high-quality 3D visuals. Especially worth noting are the detailed environments and dynamic lighting. The production's overall visual style resembles that of Pixar animated movies.
