My first major project, I'm mainly a programmer so my writing might not be the best it could be at the moment.
More updates to come in the future!

This is a Post-Apocalyptic Cyberpunk Survival RPG with some ~Romance

The year is 2077 and most of the surface world has become devoid of all human life and little animal or plant life. After the great rampage of the sentient AI -MARS- 20 years prior, humans were forced to escape underground into various mine shafts and bunkers to escape the biological warfare waging above them. With the air becoming more forgiving to the human body 20 years later a young girl escapes from the darkness of the underground with her only salvation, a relic of the past. Adventure forth onto the plains of south-western Pennsylvania where Erika and Janus must fight for their futures in a troubling future.


Erika
The girl who dared reach for the light above known as The Ashamed, The Disgraced, The Kraut, The Unwanted. Erika was taken down inside the Cumberland Mine as soon as the first alarms were raised for humanity's doom. She was only 7 years old when taken down into the "darkness" as she tends to refer to her home in the mine shaft, her father was one of the first workers on the mine expansion project which would allow more room for the residents to move around in for future years. After a terrible accident where a new section of the mine kills her father, Erika's mother goes into a state of despair turning into the mine shaft's whore. Two years later at the age of 9, Erika's mother dies to starvation due to giving up whatever food she had to Erika. Erika was taken in by the last android of the "old times", Janus, who taught her much of human history and survival which gave Erika hope for a better future.

Janus
The android stained by humanity's hatred, -MARS-'s surviving sister and daughter of -Columbia- who raised Erika after her mother died of starvation. The last sentient AI who survived the rampage of her sister -MARS-, Janus is the only AI to possess a (somewhat) living body other than her late mother -Columbia- the first sentient AI. Janus escaped the coming doom not by the mine shaft but due to her body, having lungs that could generate enough air to keep her human heart alive but not allowing the toxic air kill her she lived on the surface for some time. After coming upon the entrance to the Cumberland Mine she descended into the darkness where she met some of the last living humans. Now she joins Erika on her journey to retake the surface and search for a better life.

First ALPHA release of Robotic_Tears is out on the gamejolt page!
Super early release of this game thus its called Alpha01.
Had much more built but had to simplify it due to performance issues.

What you will find in version Alpha01:

*Prologue
*Working inventory system
*introduction to locations
*First “mission” preview
*Weapon preview
*Erika art (concept)

What is missing:

*Working minimap (almost complete)
*Janus art (still in works)
*All locations
*Possible psyche meter (still in works)
*Refined script

**Please note that this is the very first release of this game thus the writing might come off as unrefined… because its unrefined.

I hope that anyone who plays this will enjoy it and please let me know what you think!
Thanks,
