2018 js 13k Game

You are a robot living in a robot society. You were out and had to update your wifi driver, but before you could you got disconnected. Robot society sees being offline as a social taboo, so you have to get home and fix your driver. But you are trapped by social convention at a robot party, and have to obscure the fact that your wifi is not working.

• Robot has to converse with other robots
• Robots (connected) talk about things you can only know while connected.
• You have to give an excuse, find a hardwire terminal to download the info.
• Social taboo means if anyone sees you, you get embarrassed.
• Hardwire terminals are often in disarray, and need to be repaired before you can use them.
• You sneak off, fix a terminal, download the info and return to the party to continue the conversation.
• After x conversations, you can go home and fix your wifi driver.
