A confusing but ultimately satisfying sci-fi journey from beginning to end.

Computer Solves the Cancer CrisisVery good use of choices to allow exploration and make me, the player, feel like I'm actually doing something, searching for clues etc. At times I felt a bit lost in the tree but I guess this is part of the fun !

A Perfect GiftWhat an enjoyable write-up! I remember writing something similar for one of my monthly email writing prompts. Drastically different tones and settings, but how the story unfolds in the eyes of the robot protagonist is flat-out similar here. It was super difficult to do so, but now that I think of it, the small change from robot to cyborg does add more compulsion and creative freedom in directing the narrative, thanks to the still-human nature present, and the engaging mystery-thriller aspects are testament to that. Great inspiration for future robot stories. :)
I did run into a bug where checking system recovery would end up with me not having any options. That meant I had to restart from scratch. I'll give the story another retry sometime this evening. But overall, I love what I played through!

One Last CallInstant god damn favourite. Deliciously tragic, I can feel Silvie's stress and this whole situation...
I just hope it was worth it... really...

Gambit in Capital CityPlayed and rated. Had a fantastic time. Got stuck a few times but the Save and Load feature saved me from sabotaging myself. Great job.

007-373-5963I enjoyed the technobabble 😁 and the concept of collapsing time to shorten computational results. It’s an interesting take on quantum mechanics! Will you be expanding on this?

The Beach HouseI loved this! It felt like I was gradually unraveling a mystery, and I was using various hints that I picked up along the way to backtrack and get more info. Well done!

The ColonyUrgh, this ended too soon! :D It ended so abruptly. I really enjoyed figuring out what to do even though it took me a few tries. I agree with the previous comment that the console section choices have been a bit overwhelming.

One Last CallDang, I can't believe this was done in such a short amount of time! There's so much here, and it's all so great, with little humanizing moments and weird Sci-Fi stuff! I think some of the writing could have been paced out a bit better, I think the console in particular has some sections with way too many choices that could have been spilt up to make them more manageable, but this is still a really cool and impressive game!
