How to play, from a cold start
I would explain it in one breath. You type a word, the machine makes a cup, and you watch what the cup does to the girl or to you. Then you type another word.
First session
Use the Safe Edition button on the home page if you want the browser, or download from itch or Steam. Read the version on the cheat sheet so a video matches your build. Try coffee, because the official screen already names it.
When it feels stuck
The ACM1 Modder gives Human as the default Generic/Special repair cup, not a guaranteed reset in every sequel. A player reports an Android black screen and suspects a Mali/Vulkan issue; that is not a diagnosis of every black canvas. Check your edition and official download, then report the device and exact build to the developer.
Questions
Is it a horror game or a puzzle?
Official pages describe an interactive visual novel/simulation with transformations and mature horror themes. ACM2 has no ending according to its developer; ACM3 adds inventory, online selling, and social media.
Do I need a controller?
Typing is the control. I have not documented gamepad bindings because the official pages do not list them.
