About This Game

A new-retro styled RPG, set in a future universe on the brink of machine singularity.

❤️‍🔥 A cinematic, turn-based RPG.

⚙️ Recruitable robots, Suikoden style.

💥 Story themes related to AI, futurism, cults, dystopias, and transcendence.

💥 Join Selva, a cynical luddite mercenary. 

Formerly trained to hunt “rogue” robots, Selva now lives off-grid in a hedonistic exile.
Yet new events drag her back to the technocratic future she can’t quite escape.

⚙️ At her side is Jiro, a boy raised entirely within the Aethar Hives;
Underground bomb shelters that have been transformed into AI-controlled “utopias.”

Raised by caregiver machines... Jiro's every move is micromanaged by “godlike” AGI, photoreal virtual reality, and negative-emotion-suppressing systems—along with "safety" from the volatile outside world.

Despite their opposite nature, Selva and Jiro are ultimately drawn together. A reluctant friendship that sparks widespread rebellion against encroaching AI worship.

💥 Explore a war-scorched former metropolis; Zoxxo City.

• Various new neighborhoods, shortcuts, quests, & secrets appear incrementally as the story unfolds!

• Colorful street vendors, machine smugglers, stem-cell harvesters, cultish luddites, and a deranged robotic carnival troupe are among dozens of NPCs you'll encounter. Inspired by Majora's Mask, they each have their own evolving schedules.

Navigate the BOUNTY system:

Players will be hunted by malevolent robots, to a greater or lesser extent, stemming from player choices!

• Gain the chance to Inflict machine-specific status effects, such as SHORT-CIRCUIT (electric stun), and VIRUS (confused/berserk behavior), to disadvantage the robot foes.

• Certain characters can use HACK, forcing some robotic enemies to fight alongside the party—or even upgrade them.

Unlike human allies; once robot allies reach K/O status, they're gone forever. 

Unlike Beloved Rapture, our previous title - in Robot Rhapsody, most of the game's world will be completely open from the very start of the game, encouraging greater replay value, and player-defined consequences. The sprawling world offers freedom for the player to chart their own path - yet the "main story" remains cinematic/linear.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

There are mature themes in the game, but not any that would typically be considered triggering. And there a few scenes of cartoon violence that are more graphic than the rest of the game. The standard battles have no extreme visual violence (they're mostly robots/lasers/flash energy bombs etc).
