9 itemsAbout the Game
You're a distant blip amongst the sands around New Port City; It's been a long few shifts, but you're almost done with doing your sweep of the guidance stations for the docking spaceships. Take your Massive Self-Sustaining Installation Repair Truck (or MSSIRT for short); & travel the landscape to fix the last few on your list for the day with your trusty multi-tool crane.
A Day of Maintenance is a new, unusual kind of exploration game, taking cues from In Other Waters, 17776, Signal from Tolva, and Euro Truck Simulator 2
If you've ever found yourself thinking:
"I want a kind-of-technical driving game with a little gay romance but also some discussion over robot worker consciousness. (With crane operation gameplay)"
This game is for you.
Chat with Orby about cool stuff like databases, satellite software, and the possibility of having your mind overwritten by a routine check-up.
As you drive the open desert, your crew of fellow maintenance robots will chew the scenery; debating over trains, spaceships, philosophy, and hats.
Oh! You might also uncover a conspiracy.

- Around 8 hours long
- This game is deliberately slow-paced. Enjoy the drive, sip a cup of something warm, fix sites in the distant future.
- Chat with your Robot Boyfriend, 6 workmates, & a couple other characters along the way.
- Best played with a gamepad. But there's mouse & keyboard bindings for everything.
