THE GAME IS RELEASED
(Click the link above to visit the Completed Games Thread)

PLOT:

The game tells the story of a robot that is abandoned by his
human owner and is taken in custody by the workers at an
abandoned-machines-processing-facility - the Bot Pound.

This is not SF. It is a work of Realism in which some elements
of fantasy - like the robot character - are used as metaphors
for human experiences.

The central idea of the game is the psychological evolution of
the main character. Thus, rather than making him participate to a
series of comical or tense happenings designed to keep you, the
player, entertained, the game is designed to allow you to
participate to the main character's transformation.

However, this is not pretentious stuff. I tried to keep the story simple,
approachable. Also, about half of the game or more involves usual
Adventure-Games-action. The focus during that part is on doing and
the talking and thinking are accordingly reduced.

SCREENSHOTS:



The use of grey and the generally dark scenes are according to the story.



STATUS:

I am writing the ending for the game.
Then comes the "finishing touches" phase, including
testing.
I anticipate that the game will be released until the
end of May, this year.

It looks like it could be an interesting game from the screenshots and the description of the game. I would be glad to test your game if you would like when it is ready for testing.

You are welcome to play it, Michael.

I don't know how long may this post remain active after the game was announced.
I would like it to remain long enough for Michael2968 to acknowledge the answer.
Thank you, Darth Mandarb.

Can't leave a released game thread unlocked awaiting somebody's reply (no idea how long that might take) but Michael can easily reply/acknowledge either in a PM or in the completed games thread!

I have added the link to the completed game's thread in the original post as well!

Congrats on finishing!
