■Story
The year is 2089. The United Federation of Japan has become an industrial superpower—and one of the worst offenders when it comes to overwork.
Fueled by an economic boom reminiscent of Japan’s bubble era, society has taken a dark turn: working around the clock is seen as a virtue, and sleepless labor has become the norm.
At the center of this broken future is a single mega-corporation: Meternal Jobz. Its influence reaches every corner of daily life. Infrastructure, consumer electronics, automobiles, even weapons—nearly everything is made by Meternal Jobz.
The company’s most groundbreaking achievement? The commercialization of cyborg bodies, ushering in a workforce that can operate 24/7 without rest.
Thanks to these never-tiring laborers, Japan’s economy grew faster than ever—and Meternal Jobz rose to power as a corporate empire that essentially owned the country.
But that was only the beginning.
In secret, MJ developed a horrific new technology: “Sha-Tech”—a system that reanimates the dead as obedient corporate workers. These undead laborers, dubbed the Working Dead, became the backbone of MJ’s operations—tireless, unquestioning, and unstoppable.
Then came MJ’s latest product.
In a world where feature phones with wallet apps and basic TV functions were the standard, the debut of a sleek, high-performance smartphone caused a seismic shift.
This new device was hailed as the pinnacle of human evolution, and given a name to match: Endroid.
On televisions across the country, the CEO of Meternal Jobz proudly unveiled the Endroid to the public. Watching the announcement from outside an electronics store were two girls—each harboring a grudge.
Each ready for revenge.
■Characters
Machine Girl isn’t your average cyborg.
While standard-issue cyborgs are built for a single task and thrown away when they burn out, Machine Girl is different—modular, adaptable, and built for vengeance. She’s equipped with a top-tier custom body, designed to evolve and expand its capabilities over time. In short: she can become anything.
●Ryoko Arahabaki (VA: Hitomi Sekine / Diana Garnet)
One of the two playable protagonists. Ryoko is a high school junior who has been fully converted into a combat cyborg. She’s energetic, impulsive, and wears her emotions on her sleeve. While she might seem like someone who acts first and thinks later, Ryoko has a strong sense of justice and doesn’t hesitate to speak out when something feels wrong. Beneath her flashy exterior, she’s grounded, sincere, and deeply loyal to her friends.
She attends a fairly average high school where she gets by with decent grades and no standout skills in sports or academics. She’s not on any specific sports team, but she loves gym class and school festivals. Math and English aren’t her strong suits, but she makes up for it with pure enthusiasm. Also? Total sweet tooth.
Ryoko lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her father, a Meternal Jobz engineer who died under mysterious circumstances at work. The company never gave her a straight answer. Despite this tragedy, Ryoko has always stayed upbeat and determined. She’s never had a job—she’s still just a student—but when she witnesses the harsh reality of Meternal Jobz’s exploitative practices, she begins to question what it really means to “work.”
●Akemi Minamiazabu (VA: Konomi Inagaki / Hannah Grace)
Our other Machine Girl. Akemi is Ryoko’s childhood friend and total opposite—cool, sharp-tongued, and a little bit grumpy. She’s a subculture nerd who’s into indie rock, and while her emotions can sometimes get the better of her, her sense of justice burns strong.
A second-year student at a prestigious prep school, she’s decent at most subjects, loves music and art, but struggles with science and home ec. She loves cats and sweets.
Like Ryoko, she lost her mother young and was raised by her father, a Meternal Jobz engineer who died mysteriously during the development of the company’s latest tech. Despite her rough past, she’s determined to live her life forward.
●Professor Hakase (VA: Natsumi Takamori / Cheryl Ng)
The genius (and slightly unhinged) scientist behind the Machine Girl project. A former Meternal Jobz engineer with unrivaled cyborg knowledge, Professor Hakase burned out under the company’s brutal working conditions and eventually snapped. Now, she’s a pleasure-seeking, girl-modding mad scientist with a flair for chaos.
She’s turned herself into a cyborg, too—Machine Girl’s prototype, in fact. Her workshop is where your upgrades happen. Just… don’t ask too many questions.
■Enemies: Meternal Jobz
The world’s largest megacorp. MJ dominates every major industry—electronics, vehicles, food, media, weapons, and, most importantly, cyborgs. Their latest innovation, “Sha-Tech,” is a top-secret tech that revives the dead to work eternally as obedient labor units called the Working Dead. Think undead office zombies in full corporate gear.
●Kyohei Fukoku (VA: Takashi Matsuyama / Douglas Kirkpatrick)
The ruthless CEO of Meternal Jobz. Cares about nothing but profit. Treats employees like disposable parts, a mindset that has made him wildly successful.
He’s behind the rise of cyborg culture in society—at MJ, becoming a cyborg is mandatory. Being a flesh-and-blood human is considered shameful. His latest smash hit is an energy drink for cyborgs called “STRONG BRAIN ZONE,” and he’s about to launch a new smartphone called the “Endroid.”
Ironically, he’s obsessed with health and beauty.
●The Working Dead
Reanimated via “Sha-Tech,” these corporate corpses are now Meternal Jobz’s frontline workforce. Officially, they’re company property—unpaid, undead, and unstoppable. Individually weak, they attack in swarms and keep coming, even after losing limbs. Make sure to dodge if they puke mystery acid at you.
●Working Dead: Canine & Spider Types
Not all Working Dead are humanoid. Some… have evolved. Canine-types chase you like security dogs gone feral. Spider-types scuttle across walls and ceilings with freakish limbs and chuck fluorescent lights like javelins.
●Working Dead: Executives
Some Working Dead still retain their middle management vibes—bigger bodies, stronger armor, and enhanced AI. Some are tanks, some are lightning fast. They’re not just tougher—they’re smarter, too. You’ve been warned.
●Tomoyo “Inverted Cross” (VA: Mikaru Akahori / Soness Stevens)
Boss of the first stratum. Tomoyo is a top-performing saleswoman at MJ with an ultra-aggressive, hyper-athletic personality. She’s a walking embodiment of corporate hustle culture—with a side of workplace harassment.
She clawed her way to the top of the sales leaderboard through sheer intensity, team spirit, and a near-maniacal level of enthusiasm. A former volleyball jock with a height complex, Tomoyo used to hate being mistaken for a child. Now, she’s packed into a towering cyborg body and isn’t afraid to throw her weight around.
Outfitted with a massive booster unit for high-speed movement—because in her mind, the faster you are, the more clients you can visit—Tomoyo is all about energy, pressure, and pushing her “team” to the limit. In her first encounter with the player, she mistakenly assumes the Machine Girl is a newly hired employee rather than an intruder. She proceeds to issue wildly unreasonable workplace demands, oblivious to the battle unfolding.
■Game System
▼Machine Girl’s Customizable Abilities
Machine Girl’s main feature is her ability to weaponize her limbs—especially her arms—by equipping various weapons and tools. These are obtained from item boxes that appear during combat. You’ll need to assess the situation and decide what to pick up and use in real time. These weapons are only active during the current run—once you’re defeated or redeploy, you’ll start with the default equipment again.
While her legs can also be weaponized, they primarily serve movement purposes. As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock powerful enhancements and modifications that can permanently upgrade her performance. These upgrades are not lost even if you die.
And it’s not just the legs—you can enhance various body parts with different abilities or boost existing ones. Using materials obtained from defeated enemies and donations from your livestream viewers, you’ll return to Professor Hakase’s lab, where she’ll install your upgrades.
▼24/7 Corporate Cyborg Grunts
Not “Corporate Slaves”—They’re Corporate Cyborg Warriors!
Every enemy you face is a cyborg—employees who literally modified their bodies for the sake of work. They are the posthumous labor force of Meternal Jobz, brought back to life using a top-secret technology known as “Sha-Tech,” which resurrects the dead to continue working beyond the grave. These beefy corporate soldiers, or “The Working Dead,” come at you in large waves. Some look human, others are downright monstrous. Either way, smashing them into scrap is often the only way to truly set them free.
▼Ruthless Executives and the Big Bad CEO
Replayability Meets Progression-Based Growth
Meternal Jobz HQ is a 100-story skyscraper divided into five major zones. At the end of each zone awaits a massive, heavily armed boss—the corporation’s executives. And at the very top sits your ultimate target: the tyrannical CEO, Kyohei Fukoku.
▼Shifting Floors & Deadly Security Systems
Every Floor Is a New Challenge—Adapt or Die
Thanks to Meternal Jobz’s advanced security system, the layout and trap mechanisms of each floor change every time you enter. No two runs are the same. Trial and error is the name of the game—expect to die, retry, and slowly push forward.
But with each defeat, your real-world experience and character upgrades will get you closer to the top. You’ll start back on the ground floor after every death—but you’ll be a little stronger each time. Even the same floor will look different on your next run!
