The evaluator is gone. The trial is still active.

whereAdoll is a quiet science-fiction visual novel about an advanced domestic humanoid robot-doll, an unfinished field evaluation, and the traces one person left inside an adaptive household.

You are an authorized remote reviewer assigned to Residence 07 after its human evaluator becomes unreachable. The hardware is functioning. The residence is orderly. The unit continues to perform its assigned household routines.

Then it prepares a second cup.

There is only one registered resident.

Nothing is broken.

That is the problem.
