WHY I WANT IT

The more I delve, the more it looks like development for this game stopped entirely. The website linked on its Steam page doesn't exist, their Facebook page linked on their Twitter account doesn't exist, and the last updates on their itch.io page was well over a year ago. Both of the creators seem to be doing their own nonchalant thing if you look at their Twitter accounts, so... I may never get to enjoy this game which promises to be a crazy mix of Hatoful Boyfriend + Doki Doki Literature Club + I Love You Colonel Sanders. 

Those three references explain everything I was hoping to experience with household appliances. Tongue-in-cheek, not quite taking the visual novel genre seriously, but somehow having a somewhat serious plot and serious subjects in the mix to mess with the player's mind and make it unique.

Cross your fingers with me. You know this interests you, too.

If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
