Kaseda Games has announced that Beard Envy\u2019s tactile repair experience, Uncle Chop\u2019s Rocket Shop<\/em>, is coming out on PC December 5, 2024. Mark your calendar.<\/p>

Not familiar with Uncle Chop\u2019s Rocket Shop?<\/em> There\u2019s a hefty demo you can try<\/a>. Don\u2019t want to bother playing the demo? I wrote about the demo over here<\/a>. Don\u2019t want to click a link? Let me explain.<\/p>

In Uncle Chop\u2019s Rocket Shop<\/em>, you\u2019re cast as a hapless fox-man who is starting their job at an interstellar service station. You\u2019ve been given no training and have to learn how to diagnose and repair various modules on spaceships based entirely on what you can learn in a hefty manual. You only have a few days to scrape together enough R.E.N.T. to survive your employer\u2019s wrath. Not easy when you\u2019re faking it until you make it.<\/p><\/iframe>

<\/iframe> <\/div><\/figure>

There\u2019s a roguelite-style run format where you keep repeating the days until you can finally succeed. I don\u2019t recall specifically, but largely, the only thing you take back with you in a new run is knowledge. You have to build your knowledge and skill when it comes to repair and diagnosis. You need to learn the various ship modules to ensure that you can fix them with maximum efficiency. Only then will you survive your workweek.<\/p>

The main hook is that each repair job has a bunch of tactile elements to it. You have to turn cranked and remove parts, disassemble, and reassemble. It\u2019s just so satisfying. Absolute brain candy. The whole thing is set alongside a brutally humorous story. Really dark stuff. Really leaning into the \u201ccomedy is tragedy from far enough away\u201d mentality.<\/p>
