A game where humans have long gone extinct and robots have made their own civilization. But have they really gone extinct?

In The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day, you play as RT-217NP, RT for short, who is a robot without clear purpose in life for themselves. They are a rebel, avoiding system updates from the robot government and trying to develop their own ways. It's an interesting sci-fi dystopian adventure game where the story leads RT to be forced to participate in a rebel organization, who wish to protect the humans, if there are any left.

The game is more of a point and click game where you interact with things and read notes. The way you move forward in this game seems to be really slow and even when the story gives you a sense or urgency, it feels like the main character is moving very slowly, even when pressing the run button.

The voice acting was mediocre, but I do appreciate that all of the actors tried to do a good robot voice. My favorite voice was probably for one of the Medic robot characters. The dialogue feels often limiting and you don't get to explore all choices in the dialogue trees. The game heavily relies on building a foundation for the next game, and doesn't really get that interesting during this one, sadly, but besides that, it still made me want to play the next game as well, which is a good thing.

With all that, I do think it's an entertaining intro to a larger story, but on it's own I don't think it really holds up. So if you do decide to get the game, try getting this one and the Light At The End as well, and maybe getting them at a combined discounted prize. I enjoyed it, but it can get boring, however, I still think it's worth a recommendation.
