About the Game
==============
This is a romantic comedy about a robot girl's journey of self-discovery.  
In order to graduate from Ahroy Academy, famed for its prowess in AI, I need to program and train an android to function seamlessly in society.  
But...  
“Orders received, eliminating target."  
Aino, an android I dragged back from the dump, lunged at me with a blade the moment she opened her eyes. If she hadn't experienced a system error, I would've died a virgin! After learning about her inaccessible black box and her inability to recall her past, I saw an opportunity for co-operation.  
“This place is pretty run-down, but Aino accepts your proposal.”  
“Thanks for putting it delicately. Are you really an android?”  
I'll help her uncover her past and in exchange, she'll help me graduate!  
We'll be living together as man and android in an exciting, chaotic, heart-pounding co-habitation arrangement!  
Like I said, it's a romantic comedy about a robot girl's journey of self-discovery!  
Make-your-own-Aino!  
The changes and upgrades you make to Aino will appear throughout the game.  
A thrilling and titillating story with CGs

Choose the tasks Aino will perform throughout the day.  
Allow her to work at her job or offer assistance to other citizens to collect rewards and unlock new events.  
Aino will work at three main jobs, each with three increasingly difficult stages.  
To optimize her and unlock more difficult tasks, swap out Aino's head, body and hands!  
Intimate moments and intimate endings are unlocked after completing different jobs.  
Aino's system will develop bugs as she works. Players will need to use \*special\* repair techniques to help her recover.  
At first, she just requires simple headpats, but as you share more intimate moments with Aino, things could get a lot more interesting...

- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $8.00 - $12.00
  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews indicate that the $15 price point is too high, with one explicitly stating it's not worth $15. A discounted price of approximately $7 is considered excellent value. The mixed opinions suggest a fair base price in a range below $15 and above the discounted price, with many recommending a sale price. The community consensus sets a comfortable range between $8 and $12, where $8 is a good deal and $12 is the upper limit of justifiable price.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 9.0h
  - Story completion: 4.0h
  - Session length: 3.5h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The first two evidence quotes directly state full completion times under 9 hours and 9.6 hours respectively, supporting gameCompletion around 9-10 hours. The fourth quote from a Chinese review also confirms 9 hours for all endings and achievements. The third quote gives a session length of 3-4 hours for a single playthrough, which is consistent with the first quote's '4 hours first run', supporting storyCompletion (first main route) around 4 hours and sessionLength around 3-4 hours. No reliable evidence for endgame playtime, so that field is null.

  - Summary: The game initially hooks players with its story and smooth pacing, but enjoyment drops due to repetitive gameplay, tedious durability mechanics, and boring money grinding, especially in later playthroughs or when pursuing 100% completion.

  - Time to anchor: N/A
  - Friction: repetitive gameplay on later playthroughs; tedious durability mechanic; boring money grinding with stat matching; hidden dialogue skip shortcut not taught; busywork feel from maintenance tasks
