I have following this game for several months, outside of F95, including keeping up to date with Circle Rin's posts on ci-en. Just found it here while searching for it.

This game has enormous potential to be something amazing. This game is very similar to this anime/ manga/ LN: " ". Other notable sources of possible inspiration could include: "Unbreakable Machine Doll" "Clockwork Planet" "Plastic Memories" "Heaven's Lost Property" "Chobits" "Nier Automata" "Xenosaga" "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" "Ciel NoSurge: A Song Offered to The Lost Planet" Ar NoSurge: Ode to an Unborn Star" "Ar Tonelico: The Girl Who Sings at The End of The World" or anything else with a sci-fi setting and an artificially made heroine.

At first glance it looked like the primary focus would be on the on the World building, Storytelling, character and relationship development and of course on the combat.

The combat system is excellent and the controls are great as well, in my case I am using a DualShock 4 (via DS4 Windows) to play the game. The game runs perfectly on my 8-core Ryzen with a 3070. My older systems, particularly laptops that don't have a proper GPU, will not run this very well.

The soundtrack is a weak point, it does the job, but is nowhere near "eargasm" standard (such as the "Atelier" Series or games like "White Album 2").

Back on to the positives: The MC and AI-Deal, The Player is the standard character for this sort of thing, wants an AI, but is too poor to own one, and AI-Deal breaks out from the company that made her, she meets you and you become her owner and then the first battle starts, (this is basically how the introduction of "BEATLESS" goes as-well). The player character questions if you are a worthy owner for AI-Deal, this leads to a nice heart to heart and sets the stage for further character and relationship developments.

AI-Deal is designed excellently, she has a good archetype, her outfits look great. AI-Deal is basically just a "super intelligent AI", like "Lacia" from "BEATLESS". Just like in "BEATLESS" there are few other "super intelligent AIs" that serve as enemy bosses. What I would like too see a lot more of in future is a focus on the daily life and how you overcome the little things as you get used to living together (e.g."I Came To Another World As A Jack Of All Trades And A Master Of None To Journey While Relying On Quickness" "BEATLESS" also has these daily life aspects), more world building is required as well.

The major problem with the world is that despite being a full 3D game it plays too much like a VN, you have this nicely rendered environment, but you can't really explore or interact with it, outside of combat, you don't really have control over your character. This may have been done for GPU optimisation reasons. The end result being that I don't feel integrated, or that I am living in this world with AI-Deal. There is this concept I like to call the "Final Fantasy X" or "Isekai" effect, where your character is placed in to a new environment, the player or reader is learning and experiencing the new environment and you form connections with the characters and world. You can still get the full effect here, it's up to AI-Deal to say "I am going to show you a world you've never seen before and give you experiences you've never had before, Owner"

The h-scenes always seemed like they would be secondary, to the things I listed above, this is not a negative in any way. Wasting resources and time on NTR BS, is unnecessary. Adding NTR BS, reduces the amount time spent on the list above, reducing the overall quality of the game. With limited h-scenes there is no need to split it up, no game ever gets this balance right, it always ends up being 90% NTR, that throws everything else to the wayside, all your then left with is a shell a of game that is not worth playing.

I hope that Circle Rin doesn't ruin this game, with too much NTR BS. I hope and pray that this game does not end up that way. I was hoping this to be proper "Pure Love" game. This game if done right, would be console quality. DLSite is already infested with enough NTR games as it is..

This looks pretty cool...
Too bad there's absolutely no way it'll ever run on my computer

Is there a save file? And if so can someone share their complete save file? I've been stuck on the chapter 3 fight for hours and i'm frustrated as hell. Thanks
