About A Day of Maintenance

You're a distant blip amongst the sands around New Port City; It's been a long few shifts, but you're almost done with doing your sweep of the guidance stations for the docking spaceships. Take your Massive Self-Sustaining Installation Repair Truck (or MSSIRT for short); & travel the landscape to fix the last few on your list for the day with your trusty multi-tool crane.

A Day of Maintenance is a new, unusual kind of exploration game, taking cues from In Other Waters, 17776, Signal from Tolva, and Euro Truck Simulator 2

If you've ever found yourself thinking:

"I want a kind-of-technical driving game with a little gay romance but also some discussion over robot worker consciousness. (With crane operation gameplay)"

This game is for you.
  • Around 8 hours long
  • This game is deliberately slow-paced. Enjoy the drive, sip a cup of something warm, fix sites in the distant future.
  • Chat with your Robot Boyfriend, 6 workmates, & a couple other characters along the way.
  • Best played with a gamepad. But there's mouse & keyboard bindings for everything.

Chat with Orby about cool stuff like databases, satellite software, and the possibility of having your mind overwritten by a routine check-up.

As you drive the open desert, your crew of fellow maintenance robots will chew the scenery; debating over trains, spaceships, philosophy, and hats.

Oh! You might also uncover a conspiracy.

I love this game. Driving around, chilling and talking to the squad is fun, the story is interesting and I can tell a robot that I love him, what else could you want.

this game is ADORABLE. Would love to get Logitech G920 support, full sim setup would be a blast <3
Recommended Oct 3, 2025
There's something about being thrust onto a novel UI/Control Scheme for a big, complicated machine. Influences from Euro Truck Simulator, In Other Waters etc are apparent, also reminded me a bit of Mu Cartographer and even Far Lone Sails. It has its flaws for sure, its rather jank and whilst the prose is fairly good, the economically understandable lack of Voice acting still makes the frequent radio chatter a bit lacking, especially when youre trying to multitask navigating or fixing AND reading at the same time. Still, criminally underrated overall
Recommended Apr 5, 2025
The gameplay is chill and undemanding, which is perfect because the story gives you a lot to think about and a lot to decide. I'm kind of glad no one's made a walkthrough yet, because the writing made me so emotionally attached to the characters I probably would have looked up spoilers to make sure my favorites made it through okay. It's a short game, but one that will stick with me, if bittersweetly!

An incredible and criminally underrated game. Talking to all the different characters is fun, the story is compelling, I absolutely did not want it to end, but what an ending it was. Play the demo, then immediately buy the game because you will be hooked. Then come back and leave a review, because less than 20 reviews in over 2 years shows that Steam is not recommending this game to enough people.
Recommended Feb 23, 2024
This game is fantastic, it has instantly become one of my all time favorites. The writing is great, it's probably the main draw of the game. Each character has a really clear and developed personality and the conversations you have with them are always very entertaining. The driving can be a little complicated because of how much information is onscreen at all times, but actually doing it is simple enough so that once you get accustomed to it, there's a really great multi-tasking sort of feel where you can be driving and doing repairs while also having a conversation. I highly recommend checking out the demo if you're interested since it's fairly long, being the entire first chapter, and gives you a good taste of what driving and conversations are like. If you enjoy it, there's a high likelihood you'll love the full game since the story really takes off from there.
