A tiny game with a very old question in new plating: the quota wants three, the robots want to keep talking, and the gap between those two facts is the entire experience. It belongs to the same family of conscience-versus-paperwork games as Papers, Please, at a fraction of the scale — a coffee-break moral puzzle you can replay both ways. Short, sharp, recommended.
About Living Scraps
Living Scraps is a short adventure about a robot whose job is scrapping other robots. The quota is stated plainly in the game itself: scrap at least three of them, and the more you scrap, the better your rating. It is up to you who survives and who gets scrapped — the developer calls the whole thing a psychological drama, and the label fits.
Before any scrap process starts, there is a conversation. You can scan a robot, ask what its condition is, ask what its function is, or make polite chat — the small talk is where these machines get their personalities, and the dialogue options are where the game does its quiet work. Whether you rush the quota or talk to every unit first is entirely your call, and the game is short enough to try both.
How to Play
Meet each robot, talk with it — scan it, ask about its condition or function, or just chat — and then either start the scrap process or let it walk away. Your workplace rating rewards scrapping at least three robots, and how you reach that number is the story you are telling.
Controls
Point-and-click dialogue choices (a cursor selects from the option list)
See the original itch.io page for the developer's control notes
Tips & Tricks
Talking first is optional, and it is where the whole game lives — the scrap button will still be there after the chat.
The quota needs three; nothing says the three have to be the first three you meet.
