Our take on The Girl and the Robot

Instead of following one controllable hero, the game divides play between a girl and a remotely operated robot. Switching between them becomes part of solving puzzles, defeating enemies, and moving through the fairy-tale setting.

What is The Girl and the Robot?

Guide a young girl through an escape from a castle governed by an evil queen.

Along the way, she encounters a robot whose movements can be directed from a distance. Alternate control of both characters to work through puzzles, battle foes, and explore the setting. Their trials shape an emerging friendship. Clues to an unexplained history appear throughout the surroundings, rendered in a painted style inspired by traditional fairy stories. The game covers the opening chapter of the larger tale.
