Pragmata Gameplay
Pragmata is a third-person action game in which the player directly controls Hugh, the game’s protagonist, who uses conventional firearms and short-range propulsions to move and evade, while Diana, her android companion, performs hacks opponents. Enemies have armors that resist direct fire until the Diana completes a vulnerability sequence; only after that are conventional weapons able to inflict damage. The player has access to multiple weapon types seen in demos (e.g., a pistol, a shockwave gun, trap gun) and a boost/jump/dodge that is used both for positioning and to avoid incoming attacks during hacking sequences.
When engaging an enemy, Diana projects a node grid, and the player (via the companion’s cursor) must trace paths or select nodes to reach target tiles, avoid obstacles, and optionally activate bonus nodes that modify the encounter. Those hacking puzzles run while the player’s character continues to be vulnerable and mobile. Different enemy types and encounters use variations on the grid and node rules.
Exploration in Pragmata takes place within a lunar research station. Players explore these areas using Hugh’s jet boots to quickly go about hallways and open spaces. Diana’s Hacking is instrumental here, as she is able to give Hugh access to previously unreachable areas or activate necessary systems to progress.
Pragmata Story
A lone astronaut, Hugh Williams, is stranded on the desolate lunar surface after a moonquake separates him from his. He soon encounters a Pragmata named Diana, an android girl with the unusual ability to manifest digital projections and hack her way into the lunar base’s hallways. Yet, the lunar research station they hoped would offer sanctuary proves to be hostile, as they are immediately caught in an unforeseen conflict with a rogue AI, which has seized control of the station’s remnants.
To survive and find a way back to Earth, Hugh and Diana must brave the moon and the lunar station and battle robotic enemies that are seemingly influenced by the rogue AI.
