Overview: A New Sci‑Fi Adventure on Steam
BatteryNote launches today on Steam, inviting players to step into a dimly lit maintenance room where a failed mechanic awakens three broken robots. This sci‑fi adventure blends puzzle‑driven charging mechanics with intimate conversations, letting you shape the fates of the why and how of their final moments. The game’s core promise is simple but provocative: how you allocate power—and how you treat the robots you awaken—decides the many endings you can uncover.
Core Gameplay: Charge, Converse, and Decide
At the heart of BatteryNote is a tactile charging mechanic. You hold a power plug and switch to recharge one of the three robots, each with its own memories and personality. As you coax energy into their systems, you can open dialogues, probes into memories, and observe reactions that shift based on your treatment. The tension comes from timing—batteries burn down quickly, and every decision has emotional weight.
The gameplay loops invite experimentation. Choose a robot and focus on social interactions to learn about its past, or press the power switch to test boundaries and see how cruelty or kindness influences behavior and outcome. Your choices not only affect the robot’s perception of you but can also lock you into different endings. Replaying scenes reveals the breadth of outcomes, offering a satisfying loop for players who seek multiple conclusions or a narrative that rewards careful, humane choices.
Meet the Robots: J.S.C.A., Devind R7, and Surverry
BatteryNote centers three distinctive personalities who each carry memories of a longer life before the maintenance room. J.S.C.A. is a former diner waitress robot with a mischievous streak, hinting at a caring owner and a story behind its disposal. Devind R7 embodies a warrior’s pride, wrestling with the idea of a battlefield left behind. Surverry, a sociable surveillance bot, remembers a world of offices and quiet flirtations, masking a past that refuses to be forgotten. Across these characters, players uncover themes of memory, loyalty, and ethical choice as power flows through their circuits.
The Soundtrack: Music That Colors the Experience
Accompanying BatteryNote is a dedicated original soundtrack, available separately and as part of a bundled package. Composed by the developer, the music weaves through the game’s mood—ranging from reflective to tense—enhancing the emotional arc as you decide how to spend the robots’ remaining moments.
Discounts and Bundle Offers on Steam
To celebrate the release, BatteryNote is available on Steam with a 10% discount until October 24. For fans who want the music, an additional 10% off the OST bundle makes it a compelling add‑on. The OST itself is also sold individually for those who wish to immerse in the soundscape without replaying the full game.
