Robota-2127-

This is a horizontal scrolling action game from a third-person perspective, presented in a hand-painted mime style. The player will control a little robot to explore the truth step by step that causes civilizations to collapse in a world full of menacing traps and hostile people. Why do humans and machines become enemies, and why do people come to live in underground caves reluctantly? What is hidden in the upright grand steel tower? Where on earth is the friend in dreams? All the truths will be discovered one by one with the progress of the story.
When humans lose their hearts, are they no longer humans?
When non-humans have hearts, are they counted as humans?
A robot whose memory is lost embarks on a journey in search of the blurred figure in its dreams to explore the reasons why mechanical civilizations become extinct and the truths of humans hating robots. Can humans and machines become friends? A teaching from a century ago still resonates powerfully today: “The mediator between the mind and the hands must be the heart.” An imperfect story, from a century ago till now, is being told.
