Software used
FireAlpaca for the art, Ren’py for the game itself!

Use of the limitation
The robot in the game starts off depressed, & one of the main symptoms of depression is lack of energy. The heart metric in the game represents how much energy the robot has, & the rocks measure its level of depression. Depending on the choices you make, as you help the robot decide to “create” a new friend, you are “destroying” the robot’s loneliness & increasing its energy.

Cookies eaten
6! There were 6 little biscuit cookies in a package together & I ate them while making this.

This is a nice short game, sadly not many people will be able to play it since its been uploaded very late.
