Review

In this very short (~10-20 minute) visual novel, you take on the role of a disembodied set of robot hands who makes predictions about the future. The story takes place in a world where Mother, the all-knowing sentient AI powering the world, has committed suicide and chaos ensued.

The game, being a visual novel, has minimal actual gameplay. The only “gameplay” is selecting the order of runes picked by the people seeking the player’s prediction. The different order of the runes lead to different predictions, leading to a different story outcome. There is some value to replaying the game to get different outcomes, but not much. The story premise is pretty interesting, though.

Interesting but very short visual novel.
