Hello Steam Community,

I'm ecstatic to lift the curtain on The Last Bot, a game that's not just another post-apocalyptic tale but a narrative-driven experience crafted with care as a solo developer. Development has been well under way for some time and I'm happy to announce it with a teaser trailer: [previewyoutube=nM1jNDZoGKw;full][/previewyoutube]

Who is Seeker-3?

Imagine waking up alone in a city where skyscrapers are jungles and skywalks are pathways to the past. That's the reality for Seeker-3, a robot with a knack for repair and a circuit full of questions.

Mile High City: A Silent Echo

This isn't your typical abandoned city. Mile High City is a vertical labyrinth (see my other game, MiLE HiGH TAXi), where each landing holds clues to its past glory and present decay. Vines crawl up rusted metal, and defunct robots and electronics tell stories more vivid than words.

More Than Repairs

It's not just about fixing what's broken. It's about choosing who to fix. Will you spend your limited resources on a robot who offers cryptic advice or one who can boost your own systems?

Why Just Survive, When You Can Thrive?

Survival isn't the endgame. It's the choices you make, the robots you repair, and the secrets you uncover that define your journey.

Join the Quest

I'll be sharing exclusive peeks into the game's development, including how I'm bringing the dialogue system and repair mechanics to life. So add The Last Bot to your wishlist and stay tuned for a journey that promises more than just answers. Together, let's decode the silence that haunts Mile High City. Thank you for your support. Best, Cassius (solo developer)

Journey through the desolate stretches of Mile High City, a former bustling metropolis now overtaken by foliage and vertical forests. Your guides are broken robots that you must revive, each harboring fragmented memories that piece together the puzzle of humanity's mysterious disappearance.

This solitary quest weaves a poignant narrative about Earth's future past and the final destiny of its lost inhabitants.
