Identify this game. I played it in the late 90s on the PC or the Amiga. It was an isometric puzzle/action/adventure game set in the future in a tall skyscraper where all the robots (cleaning bots, security bots etc.) had suddenly gone crazy.
The opening sequence showed you, the hero, entering the building (via a helicopter?). I remember the game as being quite colorful as well as graphically elegant and spare.
The game was rendered isometrically, with each floor of the building being a level. Rooms were typically offices with cubicles and computers. On each floor, you had to navigate through the various rooms and avoid or destroy the robots and (I think) reach some kind of computer. The robots typically moved in a predictable pattern, and so usually the puzzle was about avoiding/disabling them in a certain order.
As the game progressed, you traveled higher and higher in the building until you finally reached the penthouse. I seem to remember there being some guy you had to rescue there, but it could be that he was the mastermind behind the whole robot uprising.

Response by poster: Yes! Wow, that was quick. Thank you very much for delivering what my google-fu could not.
