About

%s, Computer Love puts you in the shoes of Flick, a post-human with a computer brain trying to find a connection in a cold universe. This adventure game focuses on story and puzzle solving as you explore a small planet after a system crash. Your main goal is simple yet difficult because your mind deletes itself every time you save progress. You must navigate strange environments and interact with a nameless robot who insists it is not alive while searching for someone to call a friend. The game stands out for its unique take on memory loss as a gameplay mechanic rather than just a plot point. Players have noted the charm in how the narrative unfolds through fragmented recollections. The developer, Dancing w/ Introverts, created a quiet experience that feels more like a conversation than a standard action title. While some puzzles can be tricky, the emotional weight of Flick's journey keeps things moving forward. It is a short indie project that prioritizes character interaction over high stakes or combat systems.

Storyline

Flick has not a complete memory. It is a posthuman being, which means it has a computer brain. Each time Flick makes a backup of its mind to free up space, Flick forgets parts of its life. Flick wanders the universe in order to document unknown parts of the cosmos, but what it really wants is to find a friend. It has been centuries since Flick has talked to anyone! One day, when an unknown bug attacks its operative system, Flick falls to the ground in what appears to be a tiny, tiny planet. There, Flick meets a nameless robot that swears it's not alive, and enrolls it in a strange scavenger hunt to (literally) make a friend.
