I rather liked this title. The setting works for this game and they do a lot with it. The story is pretty good throughout with some minor gripes and issues here and there. It has a pretty good cast for voice actors overall though there are a distracting number of content creators who lent their voices. Most of the puzzles work fine and you are invested in the characters and the conflict.

It's been many years since I've played it but I always remembered really enjoying it. I'd def give it a reccomend.

What Die Hard is for Christmas movies, 2064: ROM is for the video games — bringing together action, noir-inspired investigation and social drama, all tied up with that warm, festive vibe.

While the story is not too complicated per se, the wide array of different characters you get to interact with throughout is what really brings this game to life and makes it difficult to forget, along with the funky music and wonderfully made pixel graphics & cutscenes.
Having a robot companion by your side also brings in an extra level of interactivity to the game, unlike your standard visual novel, and although the replies you get to pick are mostly predictable, it is clear a lot of work and attention was dedicated to Turing — you exchange some jokes, and even get to discuss Bob Ross, of all things, along with your plans for the future. Early on the player also goes through the whole new user setup process for name, pronouns and diet preferences, which I think is pretty neat.

Overall, no matter the shortcomings, I really like this little game. It’s been amazing seeing ROM grow throughout the years, and revisiting it with full voicing upgrade or console port; especially knowing it came from a small team of indie devs.

Definitely give this a go if you are into detective stories, occasional pop culture references, cute robots or nostalgic pixel graphics 🤖💗

I own too many copies of this game. It's an adventure game in the Japanese tradition(Policenauts, Silver Case) with a lot of nods to those games. Despite not being able to make my custom pronouns "Detective" I had an overall good time.
