Evaluation

Terrible Laboratory is a slice-of-life RPG developed by aburasobabiyori and published by Kagura Games. It released on March 28, 2019. There are no DLC listings for this game, no post-launch content updates, no roadmaps, and no developer statements announcing future content specific to this title. The news feed associated with this game's Steam page is entirely the publisher Kagura Games' general news channel — all posts reference other games in their catalogue (releases like Kung Fu Grand King, Sonia and the Hypnotic City, etc.) or publisher-level announcements (such as the Kagura Compact mobile game). None of the news content relates to Terrible Laboratory's own development or content updates. The game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained product with no post-launch content cycle. It has been available for over seven years with no indication of planned additions.

About this game

The genius scientist Dr. Konica Yaegaki has been developing a brand-new robot, a technological breakthrough that could shake the world... and bring more funds to her research facility!

However, just as the project's approaching completion, she's betrayed by one of her assistants, who has conspired with the president of a rival company to shutter her laboratory by destroying her work.

To make matters worse, the rival company snatches away most of her loyal staff. The cost of repairs is estimated to be over 50 million yen, and now it's up to Konica to raise as much capital as possible and save her precious laboratory!

Join Konica Yaegaki on her mission to secure enough funds to repair her beloved robot! Gather materials, bring your inventions to life, and sell them to the highest bidder to rake in the dough. Whether they be household items, weapons, or armor, nothing's off the table for this laboratory.

Alternatively, if science isn't your thing, you can look around town for part-time jobs from rival companies. They may be the competition, but they still appreciate Konica's brilliant mind.

Just be wary of offers that are too good to be true! Some people don't only want Konica's research to go up in flames; they want to see her reputation soiled beyond repair. You can check the internet to read up on global developments and get a better idea of what people are saying about Konica's lab. Do your best to avoid scandals!
