Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for combat-centered RPG play, since the described activities focus on city exploration, crafting, and earning money

- Players who do not want reputation risks tied to some job offers
Our take on Terrible Laboratory
The earning loop leaves room for a choice between crafting and taking rival-company jobs, but job offers can carry reputation risks. That trade-off makes income gathering part of the story’s pressure rather than a purely neutral task.
What is Terrible Laboratory?
In this slice-of-life RPG, scientist Konica Yaegaki works to raise money to repair her laboratory and finish a robot project.
Explore a modern city, meet people, and visit locations such as the beach and shopping mall. Gather materials and use them to create goods for sale, including household items, weapons, and armor, or make equipment that raises stats. Another way to earn money is to take part-time jobs offered by rival companies. An in-game news system lets players read online articles and local bulletins about events and public opinion surrounding the lab. Some job offers may put Konica’s reputation at risk, so the news provides information about developments as she tries to secure funds.
