You must right-click the small room image to the left, to see the available actions in the room. This allows you to summon the training bot in the north room, and leave the simulation in the south room.
Many thanks for the fast reply.
The info about the small (room) icons and possible actions is really vital; I just wanted to abandon the game as I couldn't do anything in the first mission on the 60th floor. :)

EDIT: Is Frank from Robot Chicken? Very cool... ;-)
EDIT2: ...Top brass of this criminal organization ... lol. ;-) This game and writing is really picking up pace now, thanks again. :)

I think I got "both" good endings, it's a miracle I continued after the vast amount of 'sudden deaths/bad-endings', that is a big approval of for a game of this style. Thanks for making it.

My browser overrode the schematics on that 'bot the mech'-minigame.

Glad you enjoyed the game, despite not being a fan of the "bad-end galore" approach.

Which browser are you using? Also, what did this override look like?

This is a browser game. I am not sure how an android browser works, but in theory you should be able to open the jags.html file with a browser, and play the game. I really can't guarantee anything, though, I didn't test this on android.

mdqp how do you save in the html?
You should have a small "system" button in the bottom-right corner. That's where you save, load and so on.

Hello again. :)

I've just found some kind of discrepancy regarding the date with Jane (Romantic walk through the park (entertainment district on Europa 4, free)).
Despite having chosen the +relation or neutral option the date has been somewhat described as a failure (regarding the text "You are still both grouchy after all the bickering, so the ride home is a long and silent one. You hope your next date will work out better than this one..."). When I choose the -relation option (joke), the text suddenly depicts a success ("You look at Jane, and realize that she is looking back at you. ...")

Could it be that the text parts are somehow mislinked (wrong chain?)? Or is this WAD? Does it matter for the further relation-development?

Html-version, v1.1.0f

There is a simple mistake in a variable check at the end. This doesn't affect anything but the displayed text, fortunately. I'll fix this soon-ish, since it's not vital.

how to get rags software just to play this game??
If you don't want to mess with RAGS, there is an HTML version. If you want to try the RAGS version, you can check my blog (link in my signature), you should be able to find what you need to get started.

Before the html version I tried to download 3 different RAGS versions (v3.1beta + v2.5 from 2017 and legacy v2.4 from 2012), none of them worked and the old v2.4 even wanted to download SQL expr. and other older MS things which I would never allow (in 2022). v3.1beta started the game but had sound issues and some internal errors.

I guess you really must use a very specific version of RAGS along with various other things to install (see the creator's blog: Checklist For RAGS On Modern Windows).

However, the html game version works very well when using MS Edge (Firefox v102 didn't work either), thanks again for it. :)

It was my anti bright-mode custom CSS, which was incredibly inapt of me to not disable and check. In my defense it had not broken anything I noticed up to that part.

Yeah, RAGS has a few extra requirements nowadays. Version 3.x is effectively a different engine, so 2.x and 3.x aren't cross-compatible. I think for the overwhelming majority of games, you want 2.4.16. On my blog I link the 2.4.14 version (because that was what I backed up and used for the game), but you can run it with 2.4.16 as well, and some of the later games might require it, so I probably should start linking that one, instead.

What did it do on firefox 102?

Also, I see TOTDC's quotes are now signature-worthy. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I'm usually just a lurker on this website, but I have to state for the record: amazing game!

Highly recommended for fans of well written stories.

This game reminds me of some great memories with TADS/ADRIFT/BLORB/RAGS/... games, such as GoblinBoy's games, BBBen's first games, and Palmer's first game, and the days that I lurked on the AIF website with regular (or annual?) competitions for adult stories.
I still have at least a dozen of those old games; they should be rereleased more often.
Aww I miss TADS and GoblinBoy games

Ad Firefox: It simply doesn't work at all, you can start the game and its UI along with the first text page, however no sound does play and nothing can be clicked at "system" and/or the music symbol. It might have to do with JAGS, MS Edge JAGS player v1 works just fine though.

For me dialogue und overall immersion is by far the most important thing (hence my post regarding the romantic date above). You've done some really good writing and world setup, thanks again.

There have been many funny dialogues along my game play so far, but the "drilling" tops it all; imo absolutely signature-worthy! ;-)

I use Firefox myself, and it always worked fine, any chance you have some plug-ins which could interfere?

Thank you for the kind words. I tried my best, glad it was appreciated. ^_^

It might be the noscript addon (albeit I turned it off...) or some other security settings I have, doesn't matter though.

And no, I thank you for your work. Please keep it up as I actually started a patreon membership with you (for a while at least). Good luck :)

How do you make it work? I got this when i try to launch it
On Android 11+ you need to copy all files from archive to Chrome download folder located in "/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/TOTDC 1DD". Then in browser launch the game from url 'file:///sdcard/Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/TOTDC%201DD/jags.html'
