The game takes place over 100 years in the future where the world is on the brink of destruction, and humanity has placed all its hope in a little girl that they plan on launching into space. We previously covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20211126-6622\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">game<\/a> in November of 2021 before it had a localized name and confirmed English release, but it now looks like it will support both English and Japanese when it launches February 23 on Steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You play as the \u201cadministrator\u201d responsible for raising this unwitting, regular child into the perfect human. The only town on the planet is constructed as the location for the child to grow up, and the player must also manage the town while raising her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game takes place over the course of 7 year-long cycles that are comprised of 6 seasons (turns) each, so you have 42 turns to raise humanity\u2019s savior. The town is made of multiple districts such as the residential district, the entertainment district, and the commercial district. By revitalizing these districts, the liveliness of the town will have an impact on the girl and raise her stats.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But simply making districts more and more lively will cause them to become fatigued. Not only do districts need time to rest and recover, but making them too lively can also cause the girl to catch on to the plan. It\u2019s important to make the girl feel like it\u2019s as normal of a town as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The personnel you hire while managing the town are also important as you receive perks for hiring groups of people and assigning them to districts. Magnetic storms and other disasters can also threaten the town, so finding the right people for the job to prepare for when disaster strikes is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of each year, the child must pass an aptitude test to ensure the continuation of the plan. Meeting certain conditions while playing will let you earn MP (Memory Points), which will allow the girl to obtain memories such as \u201cMemory of the festival\u201d or \u201cMemory of summer rain\u201d by consuming them. These memories are tied to stats like intellect and affection.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220221-9820-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Between managing the girl\u2019s stats, managing the city, hiring personnel, gathering memories, and making decks with those memories, the game is composed of a lot of different gameplay elements.
