Reform
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Reform is a still-in-the-making robot dating simulator, where you play as a newly hired Reformation Officer, who is assigned to a robot who has committed crimes, in order to help them stay out of jail! You duties include keeping them happy, befriending them, and convincing them to stay out of trouble by any means necessary.
Meet Bruiser, the first available client. They're strong and a little hard headed, a tough case for sure, but they're willing to change for the better!
Meet Spark, the second available client. She's a fun-loving adrenaline junkie who doesn't seem very willing to change, but with time and effort, you can get through to her!
Reform features:
- Pick your own pronouns
- Pick your partner's pronouns
- Multiple endings
- Tough fighter robots!
- Racer robots!
Bruiser and Spark's routes are complete and ready to play! Deus' route is incomplete, with his introduction and first day partially finished.

Hi guys! I'm glad you've liked Reform. Unfortunately, I've kind of stopped working on this project. I started it when I was 16 and I'm 19 now and I realize a bunch of things with it that I could've done much better, and in a lot of situations, I thought that I was being nuanced when really I wasn't.
It's definitely a possibility that I might pick Reform back up at some point in the future, but since this was my first dating sim and I was working on it all on my own, I kind of bit off more than I could chew. In the mean time, I'm going to be working on developing a smaller project! Keep an eye out for that, hopefully!
Thank you all so much for your support, it means the world.

It's really unfortunate all the comments here aren't as recent because it cannot be understated how much I enjoyed this game. ^^ You did such a good job at portraying Bruiser's story and i love their character so so much ohh my goodness
omg hi! haha the game is quite old by now
when i made reform, i was in highschool, and now im about to graduate college in 2 weeks, which is craaaazy to think about. its insane to me that people are still managing to find my game! honestly, ive improved a fair bit in terms of art and writing since i made reform, and there's always the chance that i might come back and add to it!
though to be honest, in hindsight, the premise of reform isn't really the best. i chalk it up to me being like 16 and not having that much earthly awareness ^^; maybe one day ill come back to it and give it a new story or something. who knows?
either way, it really means a lot that you liked it! it's a tiny game that i made with firealpaca, renpy, and a transformers obsession lolol. you reminded me that reform even exists! it was such a trip down memory lane going back and reading all the comments here. i'd forgotten that people actually liked it!
Great Game
[SPOILERS]
Bruiser, my beloved,
why did you have to leave ;-;;;;
I've put Reform on the backburner for quite a while, I'm glad folks are still playing it, even if it'll be a little while until I'm able to return to it! And as for Bruiser-
{spoilers]
there's an ending where they stick with you, iirc!! feel free to replay and try to get that ending!
oh wait really?
i thought the ending was great and bittersweet but i'm down for living with emotionally unstable tough robot man
I stumbled on this game looking for robot dating sims and I wasn't disappointed!! Very immersive writing. I'm particularly in love with Bruiser... my gentle buff robot partner...
So, uh. Just started and already have a bug to report: after a choices
"Start - Spark - Yeah - I'll roll with the punches" I get this:

Thanks for telling me! In the mean time, you should still be able to go with one of the other options since the error is from a misspelled variable. I'll make sure to fix this, check for other errors and upload the fixed version :)
Edit: I've solved your issue. Thanks again for reporting it!
Excellent game! I think Bruiser needs a sequel though! ;)
This game was very beautiful. I have never played something to beautiful
Hello! I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE this dating sim! It has inclusive pronouns, a great story, AND cool buff androids, something I wished for in some dating sims! I finished one of the endings recently, and my heart was leaping throughout the whole thing because I loved how it dealt with certain situations and characters!
Oh gosh, this sim is something I'll remember for a while! Thank you so, so much for creating it, and I hope that you have a splendid day, you awesome person!
(Also, I apologize if this is badly written! I wrote this as soon as I finished Reform!)
