You manage a repair clinic in Chroma City, a cyberpunk metropolis where the sun never rises. Your clients are E.V.E.s, androids who come in for repairs and share pieces of their lives during their visits.
Repairs play out on a circular grid: move and rotate modules within a limited battery supply, merge three matching units into a higher-tier module, and fit the required parts. Some repairs add hazards such as spreading electronic narcotics or overloaded units.
A short, largely linear visual-novel story unfolds through clinic conversations, messages, and city updates. These encounters develop the setting and the clients’ stories, alongside the technician’s own personal narrative; the game also has multiple endings.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the unusual circular match-three repairs, pixel-art presentation, and the calm cyberpunk atmosphere, often noting that the conversations and characters make the short experience engaging. Music and gradual worldbuilding also earn praise. Opinions on the writing are mixed: some find the story affecting, while others criticize its dialogue or localization, and some reviewers feel suggestive lines distract from the narrative.
D1AL-ogue is a cyberpunk repair puzzle game where you fix androids in a city under an eternal gray night.
This is Chroma City, a place where the sun never rises, and only the artificial light of 'Neon-Shine' illuminates the streets. With 'Polar Night Day,' the longest night of the year, just ahead, the city is shimmering with festive lights and shadows.
You become the manager of a repair clinic tucked away in a corner of the shopping district, welcoming customers who emerge from the dark.
They are not ordinary humans, but androids known as Electronic Vital Entities (E.V.E).
Your mission is to operate the old-school diagnostic console [D1AL] to fix their broken parts and return them to their daily lives.
Forget simple repairs. You must manually rotate and manipulate a circular grid that visualizes the android's internal core.
Rotate and Merge: Within a limited battery capacity, move and rotate modules to merge three of the same kind into a higher-tier unit.
Strategic Repair: Precisely replace units while avoiding spreading electronic narcotics and overloaded units on the verge of exploding.
Androids with unique charms and backstories will visit your workshop.
Instead of a warm cup of tea or a cocktail, serve them a perfect repair. The stories they share will change depending on your skills.
Circular Puzzle: A unique puzzle mechanism based on a circular grid.
Light Narrative: Trivial yet deep daily stories within a cyberpunk universe.
Retro Aesthetics: Pixel art visuals combining 98-era PC style with Neon Noir.
Now, turn the D1AL and connect with them.
