About the Game

--------------------------------------
[NETABOKU -A robot girl changes my life as a bedridden boy-]
--------------------------------------

Thank you for watching NETABOKU!
This game was modeled after the avatar robot cafe​, and I made it with the people who actually worked there. A bedridden young man meets an android girl and discovers the meaning of his life in this sci-fi romantic adventure game.

The genre of this game is a visual novel.

I hope that 20 years from now, technology will have made the impossible possible, and you will be able to live freely even if you are bedridden, and I hope that 20 years from now, we will see further advances in real-world technology and events like this one come to fruition, and I hope that the players will feel a sense of hope for the future as well!

*Live play and video submissions on distribution sites are welcome. However, please do so within the bounds of common sense.
