Spare Parts: Episode 1

Absolutely full of heart, with wonderful art, expressive acting, and writing that connects you to the characters - you'll be rooting for this cast by the end, and teetering on the edge of your seat wondering how they're all going to face the challenges stacked so unfairly against them. The writing is very earnest and the characters' struggles hit very close to home - even with the fantastical twist the premise offers, it's the mundane cruelties of everyday life that create the tension. Even with the looming feeling that things will get worse before they get better, I'm hoping the cast's bubble of warmth can hold fast through it all, and I'm eagerly awaiting Episode 2.

Spare Parts is such a delight!! really, there's so much to love: the background and sprite art are so appealing, the soundtrack is absolutely jammin', and the writing is so solid and hilarious and heartfelt and...! it's just nice. it's nice!! this is a story that i really felt seen by and i'm glad it's out here in the world. go buy and enjoy this vn about funny gay robots, you won't regret it!

Nice and cute art, mostly wholesome (occasionally dark) story, fun characters. If that's all you're looking for in a visual novel then I can strongly recommend this one.

Absolutely loved this! Lucy and the ***** siblings are such good characters. The writing is really well done, hits the emotional and funny stuff out of the park. And I'm loving the queer vibes going on. I can't wait to see how everyone's relationship develops and what's in store for the story with episode 2. Definitely check this out, especially since it's so cheap! There's no reason not to!

Cute and artfully written, a relatively promising start for a story. In the opening introduction to the narrative the writing's strength is very evident. It does well to balance artistic description with plain description, being neither too simple or pompous. The backgrounds and talksprites are well drawn, the music decently fitting. It establishes a relatively consistent immersion to the world. Although, to me, it looks like the arms and hands of the talksprites are a little too large relative to their bodies. The character with red hair in particular looks awkwardly proportioned compared to the other characters, especially with their sharper yet smaller head. It's also somewhat awkward that the talksprites face towards the player, and not eachother. The protagonist has a pretty classic personality but manages to avoid being generic via the strong, thoughtful writing. The only demonstrably negative character is the one with green hair, who displays a highly generic joke personality that is extremely out of place amongst the otherwise genuine cast. The story itself has a great premise however the overarching mystery elements of the plot are not especially interesting, compared to the day to day relationship development of the characters. Hopefully the dramatic mysteries of the story will stay in the backseat for the forthcoming episodes and it will continue focusing on the more slice-of-life aspects that are generally much stronger. Although the post story radio sequence was slightly amusing, the toll it may take on the immersion of the player and the respect the story itself commands doesn't really feel worth it. So if players do not like out-of-character immersion breaking comedy mini-shows they should avoid the radio sequence they unlock after completing the main story. Several hours for several dollars is a pretty solid rate for such a well written story, especially with all the effort that went into the various backgrounds, music and talksprites. If you're interested in finding more games like this I've probably reviewed quite a few on my curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38950844-Anoemalous/] here [/url].

The story of Lucy trying to get a job and making friends with your attractive boss and coworkers. A perfect introduction to the characters. Not everyone gets their time in the spotlight, that has to wait for episode 2. But even episode 1 made me love the characters a lot. If you like excellent writing and art you should definitely check out Spare Parts. Having now replayed episode 1, with the characters meaning a lot more to me it affects me quite a bit. Lucy especially making me go "She just like me fr". I just love the art, the writing, the characters, everything about Spare Parts.

Cute art and the characters are neat.

Real neat! Cute art and the characters are pretty fun. Big fan of Owen!
