I was just trying to create a robot at the start.

I never thought I would spend so much time with her.
I never thought I would choose her over my friends.
I never thought I would treat her as a human.
I never thought how much I would consider her a lot more as a daughter than just a machine.
And I never thought she would return this feeling of love.

10/10 I would restart to do this all over again.

EDIT (19.3 hours of total gameplay time later):

Lol, what did I just write up there.

So I spent around another 15+ hours or so on the game trying to get all the achievements and possible endings for it and I've seen a lot of more great story-paths aside from the get-all-close-and-emotional-with-your-robot-daughter plot.

One of my personal favorite story-paths when (and if) you get your robot to prevent the Sino-American War from happening and the events that eventally leads to, one of the many, many stories you can come up with in this game, like forging your own robot empire, marrying a robot, and even going to the moon.

The fact that this game has no visuals whatsoever does not bother me at all and it shouldn't bother you either. With whatever route you take for the story, the writing is excellent and there is always that subtle taste of humor somewhere mixed splendidly well with some moving moments. This aspect of the game is what makes Choice of Robots what Choice of Robots is. The game need not any visuals because the writing provides you what you have to see in your head.

The only real complaint I have with this game (and with most text-based CYOA games on Steam for that matter) is the user interface. Playing 7 hours straight on a game with a completely white background does not at all give you painful feelings that nearly make you believe your eyes are gonna blow up from their sockets Michael Bay-style (sarcasm intended). The developers should add the option to invert the colors if the user wishes to (from a white background with black text to a black background with white text).

Man, if making a robot were this easy, I would be making my Miku right now (then eventually get murdered by her in my sleep when she starts the Robot Revolution).
