The not-really sequel to Sum of the Parts
This is the failing world power called Japan in 2050, suffering from economic, social, and other problems...
Concept art of the main character and the poem that inspired the game in the first place:A robot named Beri undergoes a crisis of identity as she is told left and right that she is not a person, but her fellows fight the good fight for AI equality and recognition. The vote for marriage to an AI or a Humanoid Copy is going through the Diet, and everyone is waiting with baited breath, the Avatarkind and Humans alike.
Will she get to marry the man she loves?
And what of the loves she has already had? Will she find something to give meaning to her life... someone to guide her?
Someone like you?
She picked her own apparent age at creation, and she's a gurori with detachable limbs and parts, like her eyes simply come out... and her heart.
She has a switch at the base of her spine for sleep mode. If she doesn't want to rest, it does nothing.
She starts out All the Spirals feeling lost, alone, and hopeless.

sCRAP concept art below.
"Are Avatarkind not entitled to their own work? Are we not the property of ourselves? Do Avatarkind not cry? Do they not sweat? Do they not bleed? You say they were made in Man's own image, but this I do not believe. We have Artificial Souls yet souls they still are in the eyes of the Gods."
