I knew basically absolutely nothing going into this game. Not the art style, not the general premise, nothing except for just two lines my friend kept repeating. "Trans robot brain problems" and "homoerotic disassembly scene". My expectations could've been literally anything, but I settled on something dark, gritty, and surprisingly relatable. Something akin to Signalis, but a visual novel, and more mundane.

That's not at all what it was, it's like a silly 4-koma turned visual novel. And it's SO funny. Every character has their own little stats screen with shit like "cool," "nice," "shy," or "dumb." Dumb is my favorite. The main character, Lucy, her dumb stat is maxed out. At first I had a few questions about the plot and how the hell she didn't figure out they were robots—but then I realized—she's dumb. Literally any issues I have with her not piecing things together can literally all be explained by how stupid she is. Did I mention how funny this game was?

its cute! it doesnt get too into depth in any of its concepts, because its just an introduction to the game. if youre looking for something less fluff, keep playing through to episode 2
