SOMA. The implications of the technology in that game are horrifying.
The game's basic conceit is you're a white dude from downtown Toronto who got a brain injury in a car accident, and you're going in for an experimental brain scan. Flash of light, and suddenly it's 100 years later and you're wandering around in a station with monsters in it.
spoiler
Your brain scan is the first ever successful one, and your scan has become part of the "dev kit" for anybody who wants to do brain scan science stuff. There have undoubtedly been thousands of copies of you spun up for people to experiment on, then just shut off. In this particular instance, the world has ended, humanity is extinct, and your mind has been transplanted into a diving suit with a dead woman in it. Have fun with the rest of the (even more fucked up) story!
