6 itemsAbout the Game
Aureve is an android, content with a life of weaving silk tapestries alongside her master—but when he dies, his family sells her off due to her being a rogue: a self-aware android.
Thrown into a new home of refuge for rogues, the newly freed Aureve must find her place amongst them and answer the question once and for all: how does one weave a new identity when the strings to the old have been cut?
Inspired by lore from beloved fairytales, Belle Automata is the journey of an android reinventing herself. Join Aureve and the others as they forge their own paths dealing with love, self-acceptance, and grief for a life left behind.
For Aureve, choices were always a world unknown--but now her life is full of them. Stripped of her purpose and her past, her only choice is to face the future. VA: Zoe Sanders
