How it feels

You methodically fix broken androids in a dim, neon-lit city, learning their personal stories through quiet, hands-on repair work.

What players say

Players call this a short, free visual novel with charming pixel art and a fun match-3 puzzle mini-game. Many compare it favorably to VA-11 Hall-A, though opinions split on the writing: some find the story great and characters lively, while others say the dialogue leans too hard on sexual jokes and feels shallow.
