BatteryNote Brings Emotional Robot Stories to Steam

72studio’s New Sci-Fi Adventure Launches With a Discount

room6, the Kyoto-based indie publisher known for Unreal Life and Rogue with Dead, has officially launched its latest title, BatteryNote, developed by 72studio. The sci-fi adventure blends light puzzle mechanics with intimate storytelling, where players awaken and interact with broken robots awaiting their final moments.

To celebrate the launch, the game is available at a 10% discount until October 24, with an additional 10% off for those who purchase the game and soundtrack bundle.

A Story of Power, Memory, and Mortality

In BatteryNote, you awaken from cold sleep as a failed mechanic who discovers three deactivated robots in a dimly lit maintenance room. Using your limited power supply, you must decide how to use it — will you spend the robots’ remaining energy learning their stories, or experiment on them to see what happens next?

Each encounter presents a deeply personal glimpse into the robots’ past lives, shaped by your choices and empathy. Whether through conversation or cruelty, every interaction affects their final moments and the multiple endings that follow.

Three Robots, Three Memories

Each of the three main robots carries a unique story — and emotional weight:

• J.S.C.A. – A cheeky waitress bot once beloved by her diner owners. Why was she discarded?
• Devind R7 – A proud combat unit struggling to understand why it still exists after the war.
• Surverry – A lecherous yet warm-hearted surveillance droid masking a trauma it cannot forget.

These characters, brought to life through minimalist visuals and melancholic dialogue, echo BatteryNote’s central theme: that even machines have memories worth preserving.

Choices, Consequences, and Replayability

Gameplay unfolds through time-limited sessions where players “charge” or “converse” with a chosen robot. Kindness, cruelty, or curiosity — each decision influences both the robot’s reaction and your ending. Players can replay scenarios to uncover new dialogue, hidden truths, and alternate emotional conclusions.

The result is part visual novel, part moral experiment, a quiet, reflective experience in the spirit of Unreal Life and To the Moon.

Alongside the game, room6 has released the BatteryNote Original Soundtrack, composed by the game’s creator. The OST captures the tone of fading memories and mechanical melancholy, perfectly complementing the game’s introspective atmosphere.

BatteryNote is available now on Steam with a launch discount until October 24, 2025.
