Why it matters
The play report's split reaction, laughter at the robot duels and then a tightening chest at the scenario, is the clearest sign yet that Fujii.Production is building a brawler whose story carries weight beyond its 90s-style presentation.

The demo was playable at the October 31 event at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho Hall. The writer came for the comical dialogue and left shaken by the story's resonance.
The demo build at Tokyo Game Dungeon 14 opened on a one-on-one giant robot fistfight, with guarding and an assault combo as the basic loop. The camera sits low and close, framing the duel as if the protagonist Miho were looking up at the robot run by the boss Hoshi, and the angle shifts with each battle location.
Then the scenario changes register. The synopsis places the story in the 22nd century, when robots spread into every industry and robot crime rose until the Japanese government set up an armed organization with police authority called the Japanese Army Police. The writer describes the gap between the comic dialogue and the story's social themes as the reason the session ended in a daze.
