A VERY difficult resource management game that requires you to dismantle cyborgs and sort materials in rapid succession, not only do you need to execute every QTE cut quickly and precisely, you also need to sort the resource accordingly, and sometimes with the Blood resource, you have to only dismantle the head and nothing more as opposed to dismantling all parts. And if the meter moves too quick, you can optionally discard the entire cyborg at the "sell part" tab and roll for another cyborg. As there is little to breathing room if you want to reach the quota and prepare for the next chapter, this game can be very stressful.

There are several tips if you want to process the cyborgs effectively:
1. You can actually spawn a new cyborg almost immediately by double-clicking the clock, which allows you to speed up the process. Moreover, the clock doesn't move when there is no cyborg on the table, which allows you to take a short break should you need it.
2. Even if you have already completed all the chapter quotas, you can actually continue to dismantle more cyborgs to prepare for more materials, such as focusing on harvesting Blood and Rare Material in rapid succession by only dismantling the head and sorting the corresponding parts to save your time at later chapters.
3. Starting from chapter 4, a bonus objective mode would be unlocked which allows you to earn a massive amount of money by submitting a cyborg fitting all the listed conditions. If you want to amass the required amount of money, this is a crucial step to take.
4. Since you can earn money by completing bonus objective starting from chapter 4, from now on, if you were in need of metal, dismantle all parts, sort the head for rare material and the rest for metal; and in you were in need of blood, dismantle only the head and then sort the head for rare material and the rest of the full torso for blood. Money is also crucial for the gallery mode, both for purchasing outfits and replenishing mental status meter.
5. If the bonus objective requires you to deplete a living cyborg's mentality meter and you have the spare time to do so, you can deliberately damage your cyborg by missing the guage until the metality meter reaches 0.
6. So long as there is still at least one cyborg on the table at the last few seconds, the day doesn't end until you process the cyborg. This allows you to interact with the cyborg as long as you please, until you process the cyborg on the table.

Once you have completed Chapter 4 (40th day), a gallery mode / endless mode would be unlocked for the completed save, but to reach there, you are going to need a lot of material grinding, rapid QTE solving and part solving to reach there, which can be very difficult. Moreover, you also gain the ability to store cyborgs and buy clothes, but all of them cost money and materials. Entering and exiting the storage room during the gallery mode also rerolls the QTE parameters, which allows you to process cyborgs even more effectively. Occassionally, if you discard a Cyborg from the gallery storage via the trash bin, they may occasionally reappear at next day's batch.

There are few suggestions I'd like to be added:
1. Difficulty slider, which affects the amounts of quotas for people who either want a relaxing experience with a more lax quota, or a twice-as-stressful experience for people looking for challenge with a higher quota.
2. Time slider, which affects how long a day would last, for people who either want more time per day to do the job slowly, or for speedrunners who want to have a self-imposed challenge.
3. Gallery unlock on option menu, an unlock button for people who just want to unlock the sandbox mode and play with the disassembly line with no time limit.
4. Animated cyborgs during interaction and zoom in, as well as more interactions with the cyborg. In its current price point, I'd expect the cyborgs to be animated, but currently, they remain a static picture even with the active ones. Therefore, I'd like to have animations for the cyborgs to be added in a future update.
5. An option tab which allows you to stop time while romancing the cyborgs.
6. Make bonus objective mode available as soon as chapter 2-3 as opposed to locking it at chapter 4.
7. Add an option to withdraw a stored cyborg from the storage during the gallery mode, which allows you to store and submit cyborgs for bonus money strategically.
8. Add an option to exchange money for materials during the gallery mode.
9. Add more positions while romancing a cyborg, as well as more endings and off-duty epilogues which allows you to interact with your own stored cyborgs.
10. Add more unlockable cyborg slots for the gallery mode, up to around 12-20 slots.

Last but not least, in its current state, this game is highly recommended for people looking for a stressful resource management of processing materials rapidly like a factory worker while being able to afford its high price point, as the time limit and quota are very unforgiving. As for casual player who aren't used to QTE and rapid item sorting, this game can be very unforgiving, especially starting at chapter 3. I look forward for further updates of this game.
