Dr. Mechano: Play as the bad guy! (Free Chapter 1 Demo)

[Dr. Mechano]

Dr. Mechano is an RPG where you play as a silly, archetypal video game villain! Use your gadgets and robot minions to steal priceless treasures, outwit the heroes, and discover an ancient secret that will make you more wealthy and powerful than ever!

In this game, you'll:

• Steal from enemies!
• Command your robots to passively attack for you!
• Scan foes and locations for information and lore!
• Solve puzzles!
• Wear disguises!
• Build bigger, better gadgets to power Mechano up!
• Find an ancient magical being and make a dark pact!
• ...And more!

The full game will be 7 chapters long, but you can play a free demo of the first chapter right now! Try it out and let us know what you think! https://drmechano.itch.io/dr-mechano

But hey! If that description's not enough to sell you on the game, how about these trailers?

General overview trailer:

And this character-focused trailer, centering on Mechano's spooky new ally, Mania! What's this mischievous spirit up to, anyway?

The demo is about 1-2 hours long, but it's packed with lots of optional hidden content! In fact, depending on how you play the game and how you well you get along with your allies, the story might go somewhat differently...

But yes! Again, the game is here: https://drmechano.itch.io/dr-mechano

If you're interested, play it and let me know what you think! I'm really excited to let people finally play this, and I hope to get the rest done soon! (So I'll also be using this topic to provide updates on the game as it develops!)

Any feedback - good or bad - is appreciated! So let me know what you think, and what you'd like to see more of in future chapters!

I'd like to thank everyone who's played the demo! We've gotten some really positive feedback on the official discord channel and social media.

Next, I'd like to actually update chapter 1 with a contest!
