01 / THE GUIDE
Grid Observation
Before making any moves, spend a few seconds scanning the circular grid. Note the positions of matching modules and potential merge paths; this habit reduces unnecessary rotations and conserves battery.
- Observe the layout before rotating to minimize unnecessary moves.
- Prioritize merging clusters that are close together to conserve battery.

Battery Management
Track how many rotations you use per repair. Compare sessions where you finish with spare battery versus those that run out early, and adjust your strategy to prioritize nearby merges.
- Listen to each android’s dialogue to notice subtle changes after repairs.
- Compare story variations to gauge how repair quality influences narrative.

Story Comparison
Repair the same type of android multiple times, noting how its dialogue shifts. This reveals how repair quality influences narrative depth, adding a subtle layer of replay value.
- Adjust the custom volume controls to balance the neon ambience with puzzle sounds.
- Observe how lighting shifts during the Polar Night Day event for visual variety.

Input Preference Test
Switch between mouse‑only and touch‑only modes across several repairs. Record which feels more precise for merging clusters, helping you settle on the most comfortable control scheme.
