The Story

Kagari is a child who can’t quite fit into society. Kagami is the robot who goes to school and lives in town in Kagari’s place. One day, a clerical error at city hall registers the robot Kagami as “the real Kagari”.

Which of them is the real one? An examination will decide. The deadline is 14 days, and whoever lives more “like Kagari” will be registered as real. And yet the two of them, far from fighting over the title, keep trying to hand it to each other.

This is not a story of humans versus robots. It’s the story of 14 days between two people who care for each other — with you gently watching over them.

The Two "Kagaris"

Kagari

Human — a child who can't quite fit in

Going outside is hard, so the days pass at home, while a stand-in robot handles life in society. But when "the real one" is put under examination — what will Kagari feel?

Kagami

Robot — Kagari's stand-in

A kind robot who has gone to school and lived in society in Kagari's place. A clerical error registers Kagami as "the real Kagari", dragging her into the examination.

How to Play

MORNING

Assign the tasks

Decide who handles each task on the to-do list — Kagari does it

DAYTIME

Watch over their day

The day unfolds as a story based on your assignments. The same task can go very differently depending on who does it.

AND THEN

The "authenticity" shifts

Their actions move the authenticity gauge. After 14 days — or when either side reaches 100% — the story finds its ending.
