A Day of Maintenance

Binged it in one sitting! Chill gameplay, liked driving - listening to the radio and keeping an eye on the chat. The work got a bit tiresome but hey, a job's a job. Loved having conversations w/ the other bots, Orby most of all Made me feel a lot of things... Yeah it's rough around the edges, movement wasn't entirely hassle-free, and on-foot exploration was tedious. But it's obvious that this game (and its characters) are a labor of love - and I can't help but love it right back.

Orby is my husband and I cherish him enough to restart the whole of Act 1 just to help him find my truck as his satellite flies over head

I love this game! The characters and themes really got to me Woo gay robots

Ok so what do you do in this game? Well, you drive a truck. A big truck. And, you fix a bunch of broken down sites. It's your job, and it feels just like one. The truck is slow and outdated, the assignments are more than you [strike]don't[/strike] get paid for, but it's just simpler to just get it done. Then while you keep working, you get better and faster, as you learn the systems and think of shortcuts. It's a good gameplay loop at its core. Only issues I'd mention are that there are some parts that are a bit rough to navigate given the art style and the MSSIRT is a bit unwieldy physics-wise. However with a bit more detail I'd easily put hundreds of hours into an MSST simulator it's a wonderful lumbering beast of a vehicle and I love it. But this game is only kinda about driving a big truck isn't it? We read the description. It's an interactive fiction game, so let's hear about the fiction you interact with. To put it simply and without spoilers, I like it... a lot. It's gay, there's robots, there's humans (I guess), and there's a wasteland of crumbling infrastructure. Between all that it managed to tell a story that both made me think about the world in a way I hadn't before [i]and[/i] made me cry a bit. All in all, this feels like it was literally made for me and me alone, but despite that, you should play it anyway. Do it. I dare you.

Great game. Really, really great. Like a trucking simulator game but engaging and fun with great writing and exceptional build. Just lovely.

this game is ADORABLE. Would love to get Logitech G920 support, full sim setup would be a blast <3

This game is fantastic, it has instantly become one of my all time favorites. The writing is great, it's probably the main draw of the game. Each character has a really clear and developed personality and the conversations you have with them are always very entertaining. The driving can be a little complicated because of how much information is onscreen at all times, but actually doing it is simple enough so that once you get accustomed to it, there's a really great multi-tasking sort of feel where you can be driving and doing repairs while also having a conversation. I highly recommend checking out the demo if you're interested since it's fairly long, being the entire first chapter, and gives you a good taste of what driving and conversations are like. If you enjoy it, there's a high likelihood you'll love the full game since the story really takes off from there.

The gameplay is chill and undemanding, which is perfect because the story gives you a lot to think about and a lot to decide. I'm kind of glad no one's made a walkthrough yet, because the writing made me so emotionally attached to the characters I probably would have looked up spoilers to make sure my favorites made it through okay. It's a short game, but one that will stick with me, if bittersweetly!
