The in-game story about artificial intelligence is unforgettable. Please add chapter features so that I can revisit some day chapter in my literature class. Thank you so much.

Cute little story. Quick, but still nice to experience.

A short, beautiful game, that clearly takes inspiration from Asimov (among other science fiction classics, quite literally quoted in-game), on the natural of artificial intelligence, what morals and emotions we may give or ascribe to them, and the potential ramifications of doing so. I'll never look at my Robo-vacuum, Daphne, in the same way ever again. Occasionally the interactions were clunky, but overall it was smooth and relaxing. I would definitely recommend, if you grab it on a sale , like I did.

This is REALLY hard to recommend, honestly. The good outweighs the bad if you get it on sale. I haven't gone that far, but it has some serious problems. Controller inputs aren't well designed, and don't even work for the main menu. Even though it says "save and quit", it actually makes you redo the whole chapter if you do that and relaunch the game. One of the few puzzles completely broke at the skateboard, becoming impossible to finish, as restarting the room doesn't actually restart the room, let alone undo the bug. So you have to restart the WHOLE CHAPTER. You can't skip any of the cutscenes or dialogue. The narrative itself is also severely lacking subtly, though that might hopefully change as I play more. The only thing keeping me going is the cute moments, lovely art direction and music, and unique gameplay design.

This game made me want to get a Roomba and put googly eyes on it. Sadly, my house is unfit for a Roomba at this moment, but once I move elsewhere, Rumu is coming. Fun game, great story. Less enthusiastic about the OST, but that's fine because by the end, you'll love Rumu, I'm sure.
