SHIBA GAME AWARD 2025 WINTER Grand Prize & Streamer Award Winner "Robot Hospice"
A place where robots that have lived alongside humans spend their final days—the "Robot Hospice". As a new staff member, you will gently yet painfully bid farewell to these beloved robots in this heartwarming and bittersweet 2D pixel art adventure game.
Judge's Comment
Robot Hospice is an adventure game that witnesses the end of robots that have been loved by humans.
The gentle worldview and slightly melancholic, bittersweet story are characteristic, and the pixel art brings a nostalgic atmosphere that heals the heart.
I chose this title for the Grand Prize because I felt the creator's kindness and wanted many people to play it.
Streamer Kisa's Comment
The theme of witnessing the end of robots that have been loved by humans is heavy, yet I felt a warmth and uniqueness in this game.
I believe there are experiences and emotions that can only be gained from this game.
Streamer Furu Goori's Comment
The setting of a story that witnesses the end of robots is wonderful. The robots have personalities, and they all look like robots I've seen somewhere before, which creates a strong sense of familiarity.
It blurs the boundary between organic and inorganic matter. Gentle but sad. I cried just from the demo version.
