Full game features:

  • Learn about the museum itself, as well as the history behind the creation and legacy of these machines.

  • Learn what exactly binary even means, and how to translate it.

  • A few Bad Ends. (and one good one)

  • Increased boost in trivia stats. 

  • 50/50 shot of haunting your mind forever with guys who are wearing punch tape for clothes. 

  • Dialogue choices.

  • All of the normal visual novel features, skip, autoplay, save...
