Making this, I won't deny- I almost cried at the cafe I usually sit to work on game dev at.
With that, as the developer I realized that this work.. means so much to me.
So, I do hope you play the game and see for yourself. If you enjoy cyber or romance, this short story otome game has it all.
Thank you for reading and supporting!

Beautiful. Choices matter, and the more I kept going the shocked I became. But also the more questions I had. These questions will contain spoilers. So heads up there.
The person(?) we play as (whose default name is Selena) is she a Robot, an android, cyborg, or human? Or is she a mix of an android and a human? Because, there are times when she shows signs of being human. Like when she took the bullet for Rion to save his life. She was bleeding and eventually “shut down.” Which leads to my next question
Why couldn’t Rion save Selena? When Selena was on her death bed after taking the bullet to save Rion, why was Rion unable to fix her up? Or not fix her at all? Selena’s notifications were warning her about a “System shut down.” But isn’t she supposed to be a robot/Android/cyborg? Why was she just left to die? And if Rion tried “4,011 times” how come he couldn’t repair her again?
WHAT THE HELL DID RION DO TO GET JUMPED BY THESE “INTRUDERS?!”
What is the relationship between the girl in the broken hologram’s image and Rion? Is she a past lover who sadly passed away, leading Rion to create Selena as a replica, or filling, of her? And is her name also Selena?
When Rion is on his dying moments with Selena, what is this talk about Rion not having a heart anymore? Did he remove his heart to put it in Selena to get her to work? (Which leads back to the question if she even is a human in the first place.)
Thank you for playing REBOOT~▪︎•°
I love your questions and curiosity, perhaps there will be an answer to your questions in the future...
Crying. This was beautifully executed.
Oh noooo, don't cry.. grab tissues and stay hydrated. I hope you feel better. <3
Thank you for your time to play REBOOT. ^^
One of the best Stories I've read so far. The whole Home Page already peaked my interest. But upon starting the Game, I was even more flashed, the Music, the UI, the Sound Design. It was all perfect.
I then started the Game, the whole Atmosphere was surrounded by Mystery but also tension. I decided to choose the most logical options, saying no and then doing what he wanted. But I also acted like I was sentient. I followed him twice, and in the End, I noticed that I was right. I AM Sentient I AM alive! But... at what cost? No! I can't let it happen, not after I regained everything. I love him too much. So, I decided to revive him. The same way as he revived me. We will live eternally forever, together.
But... was it really the right choice? Only God knows. But at this point, is he even real? Is he truly real, if I got revived, if I could revive him?
What does it matter, I am with him now, forever and ever.
...Or so I hope...
This Novel was a Masterpiece, I am looking forward to seeing more of this and more of your works. Thank you.
Thank you for your words, it brings a smile to me knowing how you feel.
Thank you for playing REBOOT. ^^
