How it feels

A laid-back, low-commitment game you can keep running in a corner of your screen, checking in now and then to click and help an android with her research.

What players say

Players call it a cozy idle game with a cute pixel-art girl, but warn it unexpectedly hits existential themes. Some find the manual collection more efficient than automation, and one notes the auto-play toggle is easy to miss.
