This game is super sweet and impressive! I never expected it to cover topics like pressure from expectations or suicide, and it does so wonderfully, with kindness and care, despite the short play time. It’s simple, but the way the events are sewn together and affect the endings stays with you for a while.
Character interactions don’t feel forced, which is a plus, and the art is very soft and atmospheric, too.

Cute character designs and clean, fresh UI? Check.
Pleasant soundtrack to go along with it? Check!
And a story that can teach you something new, with queer characters who actually feel realistic? Check!!
Navigating medical spaces as a non-binary individual can be hell on its own sometimes, and combined with a condition that not many have expertise in can make that so much more nerve-racking. Medical unprofessionalism, lack of adequate sex ed in schools, people who are supposed to help being flat-out racist or transphobic to you — it needs to be talked about, still! So even though it was a short game, I’m very happy it was made and is now available for everyone to read and reflect on. You can tell the people who worked on it put a lot of love into the project.
The game also touches upon communication in relationships, which is extremely important, and has a bunch of warm, sweet moments between Val and their gf 🧡🏳️🌈
I think we could all use a reminder that there ARE ways to deal with something that feels impossible — through communication, mutual understanding, and patience.
And especially if you are a cis guy, play this one, please ✌🏻

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 🤖💗
