Winder

Welcome to a world where connection has stopped.

The robots here no longer wind each other’s springs.
To avoid emotional burnout, they rely solely on automated winding machines.
Deep, meaningful connections with one another have been strictly forbidden.

Gradually, the world has transformed into a bleak and indifferent dystopia.
As an old, obsolete robot waking from a long slumber, help them rediscover the bonds they have lost.

Your journey begins in the bleak alleyways of a cold clockwork city.

In a city where machines have replaced the care once shared between neighbors, an old robot awakens.
Venture into its cold alleyways, where forgotten neighbors are slowly losing their power.

Do not walk past the neighbors left abandoned in the streets.

Though it is forbidden, approach their motionless bodies from behind and quietly wind their springs.
Something extraordinary happens the moment you do.
You are pulled deep into their wounded inner worlds, experiencing a dangerous yet special connection.

Explore inner worlds shaped by individual stories.

Within each heart lies a surreal space where the romance of the past mingles with feelings of loss.
Each character’s unique story takes shape as beautiful puzzles to solve and challenges to overcome.

Make your way through the threatening obstacles within.
At the end of that journey, a small, heartfelt warmth awaits.

With a gentle touch, set the world in motion again.

Reach out to the neighbors the world has neglected and turned away from.

Your small acts of kindness and gentle touch are their only hope of moving once again.
