The Mech-o's! From left to right: Dapper - Spark - Volko - Trip - Zenn - Gen


Welcome to Mech-o Café!

Do you like big buff men? Do you like robots? Do you like big buff robots but can't find any game that merges both? Well, you're in luck!

In a world where the creation of Makrinos, a new kind of sentient humanoid robots, redefined society, play as Corey and discover "Mech-o Café", a macho café with quite an exceptional staff...


Multiple routes!

In this unusual café, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the mechanoid waiters as you choose who will attend to you at each significant turn of the story.

Will you spend time with the fancy Dapper? The radiant Spark? The enigmatic Volko? The clumsy Trip? Or the quiet Zenn? The choice is yours to make! Oh, and there's the cook Gen too. You don't actually pick him, but he's a funny guy!


...And multiple endings!

There will be a total of 8 different endings in the full game. Try to get them all! Though one of them might be harder to achieve... haha!


Funny OST!

You can listen to the OST here:

YouTube (Batch 1) - Spotify (FULL) - SoundCloud (FULL) - Bandcamp (EXTENDED) (Batch 1)



How is the development going?

In all honesty, the development is currently going slow because of all the work I got for college. HOWEVER, it should be over pretty soon and we’ll be able to continue working hard on the game!

If you want, I post many updates and early footages of the game (screenshots, art, OST) on the Twitter page of the project here! Don't hesitate to follow it if you're curious.

ALSO, you can download the game on GameJolt here, if you’d rather get it on another platform due to the current circumstances.

im kinda confused, is the mc male or female, because they were mentioned as a guy but looks like a female in some cinematic scenes.

Hi, they're transmasc :)

(+1)

Tyy for responding, and Wishing you the best on your project, Im a big fan:))

(+1)

OK, i just made an account for this... BUT OH. MY. GOD! The Monika reference from DDLC was PEAK, and when Dapper put me to chose the characters... i chose GEN! because i freaking need a route for him! even if it is the HARD route i dont freaking care! i beg to have the opportunity to have that cook mech in a close to him situation! (Also, i know i shouldnt take this seriouslly because aprill folls... but Dapper said that in the code was something about GEN but he said it was a surprise... <insert that crying Hatsune Miku meme that i freaking love>

is the full game going to have nsfw content in it or is it just a regular sfw dating vn? sorry, i just discovered this project minutes ago xd

(+6)(-2)

Hi! This project aims to stay SFW for the whole development. The “worse” it gets is suggestive statements, but they’re very occasional since we want this game to stay wholesome for the most part.

(+1)

fun ! i love zenn <3 cant wait for the rest 

(+1)

Is this game still continues?

It's still in the work, yea :)

(+1)

DAMN! It is really good!

I know that including the protagonist in scenes is an artist and VN author's deliberate choice. But may I ask if you have considered it possible to make all the routes be more bara friendly and toggleable to dom, sub, top, and bottom routes? There's a lacking trend of pure bara domtop POV in VNs and I thought it's an untapped potential. It's either the domtop MC is just plain abusive rapist or you have to do submissive or bot routes to advance stories.

I would love to spoil and crush and pin my Volko in my giant hyper muscular heavily hairy forested arms and body in a freaking possessive warm hug so the other mechs would tease my Volko. Yes I said that right. MY Volko GRAHAHA. He's so fucking cute.

Ok I think this is just an area for fanart and fanfics by then haha. But if it would be possible heh. But feel free to reject or disregard this message man. Hats off to you

Thx for the comment!

I can’t do that simply because it’s a SFW game and it’s all meant to stay wholesome without that type of mechanics. Also about the protag, smth that’ll be fixed in the next update is that Corey (the protag) is their own character, not the player. If you wanna see more specific content related to any mechanic or featuring a self-insert, I’d say keep it fan content. XD

And btw I agree with your point on the first paragraph just saying LMAO, I just won’t be able to deliver it with this game. Sorry!

my first time playing a visual novel, goodness this is awesome

(-8)

please have a page that is not eX-twitter, I do not use that thing

(+3)(-1)

There is clearly a lot of passion being put into this game! and I can't wait to see how it evolves with future updates.


(Also Zenn #1)

(-1)

Thank you!!

Everything about this novel is just unique and original, it really adds a new idea and way of how a visual novel could be written and done, the best part of the love interests are all very versatile and original in thier own way, and also satisfying on whatever type the reader might have thanks to the wide variety and originality of each interest

(-1)

Thanks!

I immediately love this game. Favourite goes to Zenn :))) i wish for more please, i will wait till its completion!!! Lovely game.

Thanks a lot! :D

There's a lot to love about this game! All the interactions between the café workers are super fun and give life to each other, all routes really go deep into each character (Volko's route and Trip's dynamic with Zenn—and vice versa—really left an impression on me!), the OST is really comfy to listen to (I listen to it regularly on Spotify), and the writing has a nice charm to it! One thing that feels a tad strange is the ability to write your own name—Corey caught me off-guard with how fleshed out he is as a character, and I decided to restart my save file with Corey's default name instead of mine, because it didn't feel fitting to put myself in his shoes.

Good luck with the development of the game! Looking forward to future updates 🩵

Thank you for the kind feedback! :)

This is just peak, I'm hoping and coping Gen becomes an option one day because HELLO SAILORRRRRRRR

(+1)(-1)

Thanks! And for Gen, no one shall ever know (even I am hurt because he’s my favorite of the bunch 🥹)

(+2)(-1)

It's rare to find games as good as this one, especially when it has multiple routes, I would normally choose one to three routes that I think are cool and the rest I ended up not seeing, but how good it is that I finished all the routes and I loved it, every detail of the relationships between them makes for a wonderful game, it's a shame that it's still a game that's in its early versions, i would love to play the rest that i would pay to read. 

SKBSKSB thank you! I’m so glad my efforts are seen, this comment alone made my day 🥹

(+2)

I very rarely write comments, but when I went through all the paths I really wanted to leave a positive review for this game. I'm looking forward to the full version of the game

(+1)

Thank you! It’s much appreciated :)

(+3)

Just finished all the current routes and AHH I'm in love with the game. All the art is amazing and can't wait to see where the rest of the story leads. Really looking forward to the other days in the future and getting to spend more time with Zenn and Gen :3

(+1)

Thank you! I’m doing my best to make this project stand out. Also, I really hope I can update the game later this year :)

(+1)

This game really made my morning!!!! Brooo i need the final version, and all the endings!! Seriously, I'm willing to see all the updates, I support this game! It definitely became one of my favorites. I need to see and socialize with Trip and Gen.. they are my favoritesss I love the game!

Tysm!!! I’ll do my best to get to the end eventually :)

Also glad you liked Trip and Gen!!! Tbh Gen is my personal favorite so it’s always nice to see some appreciation XD

How much do I need to pay to make you work on this full time?? I need more Volko in my life!! A dating sim with buff robots feels oddly hyper-targeted to my tastes; thank the algorithm for helping me discover this game and helping niche projects find their niche audiences!

(Btw, only piece of constructive criticism: it did slightly take me out of it when the story chose for me to eat a meat dish. I get this is fiction and it's kind of hypocritical for me to be like "no, you can't eat animals in video games" when I also play shooter games, but like, isn't the point of being a customer choosing what food you want to eat? It'd be a good opportunity for your waiter to make a small comment about what they glean about you from your choice, even if it doesn't affect the rest of the story.

At the very least, I personally think it would be cool lore-wise if the protagonist said something like, "No, I can't; I'm vegan" and then they mention how it's OK since it's lab grown meat/eggs/dairy, really adding to both the futuristic and cozy vibes.)

(+1)

Hey! I hope my excitement spreads out to others so they can experience the joy this game gave me. I just installed it a few days ago, and I already finished all the routes and replayed Zenn's route multiple times haha, but seriously, you have my fullest support and enthusiasm!!! 

I am absolutely willing to wait for 1, 5, 10, 50 years for the next update. Freaking in love with this game. To be honest, I've never really played games but the storyline and the characters were thriving with life, it is really enjoyable to converse with all the characters. Thank you for the game!!

(+1)

WAAAAA THANKSSSS YOUR COMMENT MADE MY DAY 🥹

(+1)

I recently played this game, and honestly?


ITS SO FREAKING GOOD OH MY GOD


I'm going to 100% be looking back every now and again for new updates!  This is looking great, and I can't wait to hang out with these silly guys some more!

(Also, I adore Zenn with all my heart holy-)

Thanks a lot, I’m so glad you liked it! I don’t know when the next update will be ready, knowing it took me a year to make the batch 1, but yeah. Hope you stick around though!

(+1)

hella awesome

I just played all the routes and I liked a lot! Congratulations on the game and please make the MC's name customizable.

Some other feedbacks... Does MC also have his own problems? Will be there scens outside the cafe or some kind of rival/villain in the story? it could add more things to the story and each character's arch.

Extra: Maybe think if you would like to make more games with these characters in the future... you could even try writting some comics in the future (on social media like Bluesky - not 'X-twitter')

Thank you so much for your feedback!

In this game, they all have a big issue that’ll be made more explicit eventually, but for the MC I’m not quite sure yet.

I like the idea of a rival/villain! But in the case of this story, I don’t really know where this could be added haha.

I’m not planning to reuse the Mech-o’s in other games in the future. However, there’s a huge project I wanna make eventually that takes place in this universe, so this could be a nice little introduction to the setting.

(Also yes I post on Bsky too, I just get 0 attention here so I do my best with Twitter lol)


But yeah, thanks for your comment!
