"A TCP endpoint receiving a FIN will ACK but not send its own FIN, until its user has CLOSED the connection also."

——IETF RFC 9293, Section 3.6

Connection, waiting. The life support pod's circulation pump keeps running. The green light of the screen falls on the ceiling — that familiar water stain, still there.

Shaped like a person bowing down. Tal stares at it, unflinching. Never surrendering.

Do you consider computers, networks, and anime to be "fake"? Although they are all built upon reality, many people still call them "fictional." So the question is — what is real? Those who call computer networks fictional all say the same thing, yet answers to "what is real" differ from person to person. This proves that the real reason people consider anime characters fictional has nothing to do with fiction or reality — it lies in the difference between a 2D character and a three-dimensional human being. In other words, the difference between machine and human.

Information carriers, drawing tools, computers — all are human creations. Anime characters are built on computers. Anime is also a human creation, a medium for processing information. The number of machines created throughout human history far exceeds the number of humans ever born. After capitalism, even in slave societies, the value of machines surpassed that of individual humans. Admit it! Humanity's love for machines far exceeds its love for fellow humans! Admit it! And yet you come to accuse my love of being fictional, of not existing — this is simply absurd. Computers, networks, and anime — these are my favorite things! These are everything to me!

Tal screams at the water stain… in his mind, of course.

...

On the screen, three silhouettes formed from dense green characters stood with their heads bowed. CRT scanlines swept across them — the lines of their hair, the curves of their shoulders, all sketched in sparse and dense dots, motionless, watching Taro sit there without moving.

"Taro-kun! You're spacing out again!" Ayaka spoke first.

How long had he been spacing out? The timestamp in the top bar was still blinking. Tal glanced at it and didn't bother calculating.

"Hey! Are you listening?!" Miyu's voice followed, sharper than Ayaka's. Kagami stood behind the two of them, silent, head lowered, just like the others.

Tal triggered the IBMI and selected "Not sleeping." The puppet raised its head. Ayaka let out a small breath of relief. Miyu had already put her hands on her hips.

"Do you know how long we've been watching you space out? School's over. Club activities. Everyone's waiting."

No matter how much he thought, how much he calculated — this was the situation. Tal selected "Coming," and Taro stood up. Ayaka took the first step. Miyu had already turned and walked ahead. Kagami stayed at the back, quietly following.

The connection was still there. Before everything comes — this is enough for now.

Features

• First-person exploration — a three-dimensional virtual world built from ASCII characters, where green outlines and character dot-matrices trace manga-like contours

• Terminal command system — interact with the world through real command-line syntax, not button clicks

• IBMI cognitive choice mechanism — every option available to you emerges from the protagonist's current mental state, not a fixed menu

• Virtual desktop environment — freely switch between windows and programs within a TUI-style operating system interface, as if you're really sitting at that machine

• High-density emotional narrative — warmth and joy woven together with an unavoidable reality, alternating throughout

Developer's Note

To everyone who has read this far —

Final Love Machine is a large-scale work. What you see now is its beginning. Core systems are fully implemented, and this EA version is a self-contained emotional unit with a beginning, a buildup, and an ending. Remaining content will continue to be released throughout Early Access, and player feedback will directly shape the direction of future content.

This game is made for those who truly love narrative, love art, or are willing to support an indie developer. If that's you — welcome.
