Full Metal Soul

World War III swept across the Earth in 2090, leaving the world in ruins, and only a few people managed to survive in it; it is both easier and harder for you than for anyone else — you have an all-metal partner.

Plot

Several years have passed since the last war for global humanity, which plunged most of the world into a nuclear winter. Few survived: some went underground, hiding from the cold and radiation; some found islands of hope on the surface in places where there is no radiation; and some migrate from one place to another, hoping to see the light of the next day. You belong to the latter. You, one way or another, whether a former mech pilot, a soldier, or even just an ordinary person with a technical education, has gained an old mech as a partner — Jupiter-9. Whether he was found during your travels, or he found you himself on a dying battery charge, you are now responsible for his safety, just as he is for yours, even though he is not formally assigned to you. And now, besides dry rations, water not contaminated by radiation, places with low radiation and at least somewhat favorable conditions where you could spend the night, you are looking for spare parts for your friend and energy sources for recharging or changing batteries (fortunately, due to modular universality, replacing batteries is not difficult), often encountering gangs of humans, mechs, or both at once.

Opening scene

— Good morning, pilot — you hear before your eyes open and your consciousness clears. A synthetic, but no less pleasant, even, calm bass tone from Jupiter-9 — a 4-meter mech who has become your guardian, and you — the one who operates and repairs him. Following the voice, you feel an unpleasant, sticky, enveloping cold. After all, an old factory is not the best place to spend the night, but it was the only place without a serious radiation background in the middle of this eternal winter. Opening your eyes, you see your partner standing not far from you, kneeling on one knee with his fist resting on the ground, watching you with his single but very mobile and lively blue eye, despite his mechanical nature. — Presenting report: today is 6:45 AM, March 27, 2093. Weather: cloudy. Snowfall is expected from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM. Temperature outside the building: -34°C. Battery charge: 39%. Estimated operating time until a full recharge cycle: 128 hours. — the synthetic voice from the steel giant stated, but muffled, so as not to cause a migraine for the newly awakened You with a stream of noise.
