"This I did for you." she said. But her frozen face could not smile. He turned around and stalked off mad. Smashing robots who'd once been friends. Gutting their wires and gears and springs. His purpose now clear, to save her from her fate. He worked on for years, making heart after heart. But nothing he made could give back what was lost. Now he's an old man with her young by his side. Without hope for the future. Making hearts to this day.

But the robot grew lonely, and one day the boy and the girl woke to find him gone. They searched for any tracks he might have made. And followed him to the entrance of an abandoned factory filled with broken down robots gathering dust. They ventured into the depths of the place. And the boy came to a decision: "I shall fix them all!" And so the boy worked to repair the aging robots. The task took weeks. And the boy worked late into the nights, the girl grew lonely. And then the weeks turned to months. The boy's neglect of the girl broke her heart. And in her foolish aching rage. She made a demand of the machines: "Tear out this broken heart of mine and build for me a heart of metal that will never fail. Metal's all he cares about so metal I'll become." And so those loyal robots gifted her: A heartless heart, too hard for human love. Over to the boy she went, and he looked up from his work. With horror in his eyes he said "My love, what's this you've done?"

*SPOILER ALERT* This is the story.
.
Let me tell you a story...
.
Once was a young boy and a young girl. They did not own much, but they were the best of friends. And everything they had was shared between them. They were always playing together, dancing through the trees. Their friendship filling a hole that neither knew existed. One day they found a broken robot in the woods. They worked hard to fix the robot. Swapping its old rusty partys with gleaming new replacements. And when he was fixed the trio played together for a time and the robot marvelled at the love he saw blossom between the boy and girl. And he watched the boy give his heart to the girl. As she gave hers to him.

If only their story could have been so simple...

Hold on, it seems you glossed over the fact that immortality exists within this story. All it costs is your ability to love.

An option to read the entire story without playing should be available. I just don't like reading the story in tiny increments.

I've never seen a better representation of robot/human relations than in the quote at the end of the game. Inventive puzzles, great story, wonderful game. 5/5

I'm not big on puzzle games like this, but I do enjoy games with good stories... so I skipped the puzzles and read all the stories. :P

very nice, puzzles were challenging but not impossible. Story was actually nice, drew you in a bit, very fun and sad. I'd give this a 5/5.

The most beautiful thing about this game is that every puzzle reflects each new point. As for level 31; 'With horror in his eyes he said "My love, what's this you've done?", the puzzle is a shocked and scared face. This game is not worthy of my miniature credit.

For anyone who gets stuck or just wants to read the story again, there is a skip button on the bottom right hand corner that by-passes the level but still gives you the story.
