Young's Home for Retired Robots
A futuristic, '1950s-60s sci-fi'-inspired text-based game.
ABOUT
In the small town of Tierton, you are the resident caretaker and sole employee of Young's Home for Retired Robots - a retirement home for old and/or dysfunctional robots that no longer work as they should, or that have simply been cast out and replaced by newer models.
You came across the place by chance after deciding you needed an escape from your life in the megalopolis, but the place and its wacky inhabitants have sort of grown on you.
So when an official from the city comes knocking at your door with plans to knock it down, you decide to take matters into your own hands - setting off into the heart of the megalopolis with some robot and human companions to find a way to save your home.
FEATURES
- Dive into the year 2201, where aerocars are the norm, and plenty of futuristic inventions/gadgets exist.
- Befriend or romance your choice of 4 ROs.
- Choose your name and play as male, female, or non-binary.
- Meet the robotic residents of the home, each with their own colourful personality.
- Decide the fate of the home and its residents through the choices you make - will you save it, or will you decide that perhaps it's time to go back to living in the megalopolis?
- Music by me
ROMANCE OPTIONS
Thomas (Tom) Jakatis (m) - The serious but kind local postman, and one of the last human ones. Takes his job very seriously, but the Head Post Office have been pushing to have robots take over his postal route in the name of Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness.
Matisse (Mattie) Hewbury (nb) - Witty, brilliant-minded child of the head of Huetech Corp., set to take the company over from their father someday. Often comes to the home to visit their old robotic butler Allan.
Francis (Frankie) Pullover (f) - The mysterious owner of Young's. Sweet, seemingly carefree, and ridiculously clumsy. Whispers amongst the townsfolk say she's actually a robot. Could they be right?
Jules V. Sawyer (f) - A sardonic, workaholic lawyer who you used to know back when you still lived in the megalopolis. Though the two of you have fallen out of touch, you find yourself turning to her for help.
There is one poly route planned for the game (Tom/Frankie).
