Steambots is the kind of game you might find at a dollar store, yet it has the power to change how you view RPGs. It’s a small game, but one that feels lived-in—filled with relatable nuances from everyday life. Your goal isn’t to be a hero; it’s to experience life as you see fit. No two playthroughs will ever be the same. I know that in another universe, this game is well-loved and celebrated.

Steambot Chronicles, for its time, was an incredible RPG. It had your comfy aspects like furnishing apartments, doing labor with your mech to make money, and playing music from many musical instruments. You could be good or evil in the story. The characters are very likeable. Nadia Gifford did the singing for the songs and has a very beautiful voice. It's a game I'd love to see preserved but it's absolutely a lesser-known RPG from the PS2 era. I was sad when the sequel ended up getting cancelled.

A quaint little steampunk mecha adventure game that sadly never ran well on its original system, the PS2. I've never seen quite this mix of music, visuals, and gameplay. There's just nothing quite like it, and it's sad that it's been long forgotten by Atlus in favor of piles of Persona remasters.
i played this game off a demodisk from the playstation mag. I just had to have it and when I finally got it from gamestop it really opened my eyes to games being more then just about the gameplay it opened my eyes to care about the story.
A friend of mine absolutely loved this game after I loaned my copy to them. I feel that seeing it preserved on GOG, will in some small way also preserve their memory.

Shortly thereafter, Kyouji is found dead under suspicious circumstances. The protagonist is then trapped inside of a warehouse and murdered by a deranged killer named Sid. Rather than stay dead, the player finds himself in the reanimated body of the slain Kyouji, and escapes from the morgue. With the help of Kyouji's voice, which guides the player from inside his head, the main character joins up with Kyouji's female partner Rei in order to save the life of his girlfriend, who is still in danger.
