About Save My Scrap
Save My Scrap is a narrative-driven puzzle game that blends visual novel storytelling with hands-on repair challenges. Developed by Amata and released on December 31, 2026, it’s available on PC, Xbox Series, PS5, and Switch. The game follows a technician tasked with fixing a broken android to uncover a client’s hidden memories. Its indie charm shines through minimalist art and emotional depth, balancing dialogue choices with mechanical puzzles. Players piece together circuits and systems while figuring out a fractured past. Ideal for fans of quiet, introspective games where every action impacts the story.
Gameplay
The core loop alternates between narrative segments and repair puzzles. During story beats, you interact via dialogue options that shape relationships and uncover context. Puzzle sequences require repairing the android’s components by aligning circuits, calibrating sensors, and troubleshooting logic errors. Each repair reveals fragments of the client’s memories, which influence future dialogue. Sessions often last 20-30 minutes, blending exploration of visual novel scenes with 3D repair mini-games. Controls are intuitive across platforms, with tactile feedback for puzzle interactions. The story is non-linear, repairing certain parts unlocks new dialogue paths.
