Where Girls Are Made

Where Girls Are Made is an unconventional and deliberately provocative indie title developed and published by HelloArisu Games, built around a speculative science-fiction premise that immediately sets it apart from more traditional life sims or visual novels. The game imagines a bleak future in which women no longer exist, and society has filled that absence by creating artificial “girls” manufactured in specialized facilities. From the outset, the tone is intentionally unsettling, blending dystopian worldbuilding with adult themes to provoke reflection as much as titillation. Rather than aiming for broad appeal, the game clearly targets a niche audience interested in experimental storytelling and morally ambiguous scenarios. The narrative places the player in the role of a male worker employed at one of these facilities, where android girls are assembled, inspected, and prepared for distribution. Much of the game’s strength lies in how it frames routine labor as something quietly disturbing. Day-to-day tasks are mundane on the surface, involving shifts, inspections, and management decisions, but they are framed within a setting that constantly reminds the player of the unnaturaln…

This game is story rich as advertised. I have some critiques on production quality, but they were never a big enough hindrance to dislike the narrative experience of this game. The game's story line is itself a metaphor of the experience of being a citizen of a fascist government. You can avoid and reject the information of your eyes and ears and believe every bit of what the government tells you, or you can go through the healing process of building empathy for others and fighting on their behalf. You can contribute to the problem, and it feels inconsequential because the other men in society are theoretically also. Going to work and never acknowledging the moral deficit it takes to own women as property. If you truly engage with the story as intended, by the end you'll begin to wonder if lusting for a woman is ever morally correct irrelevant of consent. By the time you figure out how to get to the third city, if these questions haven't entered your mind naturally, I think your experience with the narrative will be vastly increased if you consider these three possibilities at once (Kinda not spoilers just un-acknowledged thoughts): 1. Are the deviants even capable of being int…

You can get softlocked if you do a single incorrect dialogue which means you can end up wasting hours of time for nothing. Story is scuffed, animations are poor and recycled, minigames are not engaging, all in all not worth it.

The art style is cute and there's a variety of girls, but that's all the positives I can think of for this game. The story progression is incredibly slow, the work to get androids gets tedious quickly, and there's very little incentives to work the new job presented later on. The sex scenes are repetitive and frankly get boring quickly as well. There are many interesting kinks mentioned in the work scenes, but none are seen in the gameplay itself. Why mention so many kinks only to not include them in any sexual scenes? Also I understand having to get the girls in a certain order for the introduction scenes, but there's no good in game explanation for why they need to be bought in that order. I really tried to give this game a chance, but it just doesn't hold up in any way.

Boring game loop. Literally nothing to do after a couple of hours play. A search reveals anything else is locked behind a paywall.
