The cyberpunk workshop of your dreams (or nightmares) is opening soon. Bots & Mods, the second title from solo developer Bit66, is officially launching on January 8 — and it’s shaping up to be a clever, story-driven simulation game with humor, depth, and plenty of robot drama.
Set in the neon-soaked city of Danopolis, Bots & Mods puts players in charge of a robot repair shop. From diagnosing malfunctioning bots to crafting components and upgrading machines to exact client specs, every job matters — especially when your customers range from everyday locals to powerful corpos and shady gangs.
Run a Workshop in a City Full of Secrets
Bots & Mods delivers a grounded but playful cyberpunk experience. Instead of saving the world, players manage repairs, juggle deadlines, and navigate quirky personalities across the city. The tone stays light-hearted, leaning into comedy while still telling a compelling sci-fi story.
The game’s demo, available now, gives players a full taste of Act 1 — letting future workshop owners meet Danopolis, experiment with systems, and see how bot-repair life unfolds.
Fix, Craft, Upgrade — and Stay Ahead of the City
The core gameplay blends simulation, crafting, and narrative choices. Every repair requires careful diagnosis, correct parts, and smart resource management. As business grows, tools and abilities evolve right alongside the robots you work on.
Key gameplay pillars include:
- Diagnosing and repairing customers’ robots
- Exploring underground caves to gather rare resources
- Crafting essential components and specialty parts
- Upgrading your tools — and even upgrading yourself
- Meeting eccentric characters across a branching cyberpunk story
- Full Steam Deck support for on-the-go workshop mayhem
This combination gives Bots & Mods the depth of a management sim with the charm of a narrative adventure.
Explore Beneath Danopolis and Discover What Powers the City
Beyond the shop counter, players can venture into the caverns beneath the city. These areas hide resources, secrets, and new opportunities — raising questions about what powers Danopolis and who truly controls it.
Every choice contributes to your workshop’s reputation, shaping relationships with gangs, corporations, and locals who rely on your repairs.
A Solo Dev Passion Project with Heart
Bots & Mods comes from Bit66, a solo developer who first gained attention with the debut title Book Bound. Building on that experience, this new release expands scope while retaining personal storytelling and thoughtful design.
With its blend of humor, cyberpunk aesthetics, and simulation depth, Bots & Mods feels like the next step forward for indie narrative sims.
When and Where to Play
Bots & Mods launches on PC via Steam on January 8. Players eager to tinker with robots can try the demo today and wishlist the full release to stay updated.
As Bit66 prepares to open the workshop doors, one thing is certain: fixing robots has never felt this personal — or this chaotic.
