"Maidai! We have a problem!"
INPUT6 is a fast-paced, indie horror game developed by GOOSETRONAUT GAMES, released in December 2022.
In an alternative reality set in the 1990s, disaster has struck TECH-AID ROBOTICS, a company known for its creation of autonomous humanoid robots designed to supposedly help with everyday life. Said robots have gone rogue, but the question is - why?
Searching through each 'inputs', five remotes must be found to shut down the robots and stop their rampage while finding clues about the company. However, there is a timer counting down and there are malfunctioning robots on the loose.
INPUT6 awaits the following examples:
- Bad Boss: Bradley Loocre has a nasty reputation of screwing every company he buys by paying little to his workers and shutting businesses down should they not meet his unreasonable expectations.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Bradley Loocre. Not only did he treat his employees badly and shut down businesses he took in when they didn't meet his expectations, but he had intentions of taking away ownership of the Maidai robots from William and Christopher so he could profit from them himself. When that didn't work, he resorted to destroying TECH-AID ROBOTICS to get rid of evidence of his wrongdoings.
- Fembot: The Maidai robots, which are designed to resemble maids.
- Fiery Cover Up: TECH-AID ROBOTICS was rigged with explosives to destroy the company and cover up the problems concerning the Maidai robots.
- Glowing Mechanical Eyes: The Maidai robots are purported to have different glowing eye colors signaling which mode they're operating under - white for Booting Up, green for Waiting for The Command, blue for Executing the Command, yellow for Busy, and red for Alert.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Not long after the explosions in TECH-AID ROBOTICS occurred following the company closing down, William J. Pryce, Christopher Grafft and Bradley Loocre were arrested and investigated for their part in the event.
- Murderous Malfunctioning Machine: The Maidai robots went rogue in perpetual Alert Mode, prowling the factory for anything that crosses them.
- Old Money: Bradley Loocre's background is he came from a family of traders, and he inherited his wealth from his parents.
- Private Detective: Trail of Evidence, a detective agency, is brought up in a newspaper as having worked alongside the police to investigate crimes. The whole game is basically you, as a detective, investigating the recordings of Maidai robots for evidence of the wrongdoings of TECH-AID ROBOTICS.
- Punny Name: The Maidai robots' name sounds like a play on the word "mayday".
- Race Against the Clock: You have fifteen minutes to search for the five remotes before either the rogue Maidai robots find the POV robots or before the timer runs out.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Maidai robots we encounter sport glowing red eyes, and they have no intentions of letting anyone escape alive.
- Robot Maid: The Maidai robots were built to be exactly that, from doing household chores to holding conversations with their owners.
- Sibling Rivalry: William and Christopher had a dispute over the need to expand their original company TECH-AID INNOVATIONS, leading to their business closing down in 1970.
