Robot Daycare

About

Robot Daycare follows three college roommates who build an AI they can’t control. What starts as a chaotic experiment in parenting quickly spirals into a tense balancing act of managing robotic toddlers and figuring out the group’s fractured relationships. Players juggle daily tasks like feeding and programming their creations while navigating dialogue choices that shift the dynamic between the three leads. The tone swings between dry humor and uneasy moments as the characters’ past conflicts seep into their shared project. The game’s strength lies in its branching narratives and morally gray decisions. Player actions influence whether the story resolves in reconciliation or escalation, with multiple endings tied to how you handle the roommates’ hidden tensions. Despite a small budget aesthetic, the writing and character quirks have earned it a cult following on indie forums. Available on PC and mobile since 2019, it’s a short but sharp experience blending visual novel storytelling with light simulation elements.
