How it feels

A cerebral, choice-driven narrative that relies on imagination to immerse you in piloting a giant mecha, with a focus on personal stakes and branching outcomes.

What players say

Players praise the writing and role-playing opportunities for mecha fans, especially those who enjoy Gundam or Macross. The game is short, around 3 to 5 hours for a first run, with limited branching that can make choices feel stripped away by the plot or require a walkthrough to avoid dead ends.
