How it feels

A deeply immersive and satisfying tinkering session where you lose track of time while building and customizing your own retro gadgets.

What players say

Players describe it as a powerful gadget emulator that demands Lua coding skills, with no real in-game tutorial. Reviews consistently report bugs that make it unplayable for some, and a privacy issue with location data has been flagged. Players are split: those who know Lua find it rewarding, while others hit a steep wall.
