In Trusted Hands

The repair side of things is pretty straightforward and fun. However, the narrative twists in the first few in-game days had me shocked, and some of the free exploration thrusts you into really bizarre situations. At one point, I unintentionally started a date with a customer and tried to romance a married woman. The choices can be unclear, so it's not really your fault. If you're someone who's up for whatever chaotic surprises games have to offer, In Trusted Hands will keep you entertained. Hi I'm Himetokki!

It was pretty fun for a while, but gets repetitive. It was a stretch to get the "good" ending. There is a lot of debate whether or not the art is AI.
