Humanity’s first contact with tiny quasi-intelligent robots felt fresh and believable to the video game producer Marek Markuszewski as he devoured “The Invincible,” Stanislaw Lem’s 1964 science fiction novel, in two evenings. Its precise descriptions of force fields and antimatter cannons seemed ready-made for the screen. “This is great material for a major game,” Markuszewski said he thought at the time, while he was working for the developer CD Projekt Red. But it was a challenge Markuszewski embraced after cofounding the Polish studio Starward Industries, which has adapted Lem’s work for its debut game, The Invincible. (It releases on Monday for the PC, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.)
