Rick and Morty means Operation Phoenix

What the plan is

Operation Phoenix is Rick Sanchez’s emergency: if he dies, his consciousness moves into a clone body. In “Big Trouble in Little Sanchez” the Tiny Rick experiment goes wrong and Rick kills the clone. Season 4, episode 1, “Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat,” widens the idea to dying and returning across dimensions. Season 5, episode 10, “Rickmurai Jack,” uses the Citadel’s resurrection vats as a trap.

That is the whole public plot spine I am willing to repeat. A search for “Rick Sanchez destroying the phoenix project” is this story, with the noun swapped.

Not any of the games

Nothing in these episodes is the Kickstarter JRPG, the Steam horror game, or the DevOps novel. If the query was a game, the home page sorts those. If it was the show, the name to remember is Operation Phoenix, and the episode to start with is season 2, episode 7.
