- Exploration Log #7: Craftsmanship Beyond the Pixels - 18 June 2025
Hello, Scavengers! This is your Relay Officer from Scavenger T.O.M. Before every mission begins—T.O.M climbs into a little chair. Creak, creak— Tiny arms reach out. Click, click— They might seem like simple, passing motions... But behind each one is the care and attention of our animator, pouring love into every frame to create something that feels truly alive. If you’ve ever smiled at the way T.O.M moves— that’s no accident. Give a shout-out to the hands behind the motion, who turn pixels into personality!

- Exploration Log #6: Special Zones – Someone Was Here - 11 June 2025
Hello, Scavengers.This is the Relay Officer of Scavenger T.O.M. As you dig deeper into the underground bunker, you may notice the air shift — and find a space that feels strangely familiar. These are the Special Zones: hidden areas where traces of human life and rare supplies still remain.(Note: The official name hasn’t been finalized yet. Internally, we call them “Special Zones,” but you might know them by a different name when you find one.) 🚪 What Are Special Zones?You won’t find these zones by simply digging anywhere. They appear deep underground, often by chance — and discovering one can feel like striking buried treasure.Inside, you might find signs of evacuees, broken humanoids, or rare materials lost to time. Because they’re so rare, entering one feels like something unexpected is about to happen. 🚇 First Look at a Special Zone — The Forgotten SubwayThe subway station is one o…
- Exploration Log #5. Thump-thump… Connecting with T.O.M - 5 June 2025
Click click “Tom~ can you hear me~?” Tap tap tap My toes can’t stay still — excitement first. Fidget fidget Even my fingers are waiting. Beep… beep… A quiet pause. My heart goes thump-thump. Beep-beep! Ding! A little light flickers— “Oh! It’s Tom! Tom, is that you!?” To your sparkling signal— Thump! Thump! Crash! My heart rushes ahead of me. Connection complete! Time to explore the surface!! 📝 This little poem was written with the heart of someone eagerly waiting to reconnect with T.O.M on the surface. (It’s based on the in-game animation that plays when a player links up with T.O.M.)
- Exploration Log #4: Move to Survive (Action Preview) - 28 May 2025
Hello, Scavengers! This is the Relay Officer of Scavenger T.O.M. The bunker is safe. but it's also a space that's frozen in time. To survive, you must eventually move. Even in confined areas, you'll need to vault over obstacles, climb up, and sometimes... fall. In this journey, every movement you make becomes a record of your survival. Today, we’re sharing a first look at the actions currently being developed. Please note: everything shown is still early in development and subject to change. We have a long way to go, but we hope you'll continue to support us on this path! 1. Walking – The Beginning of Survival Walking is the most basic action for any survivor. Too obvious? Maybe. But it's also the most used action in this world. Whether you’re exploring unfamiliar terrain or cautiously moving toward the next safe area, walking is the foundation of your journey. The controls are simple—b…
- Exploration Log #3 — The Day We Awakened TOM - 21 May 2025
Hello, Scavengers. This is the Relay Officer of Scavenger T.O.M. Today’s exploration log tells a special story. It’s about the day everything began — the moment TOM was awakened for the very first time. 🕰️ 2088: A Slowing Earth It seemed like any ordinary day. But the world had already begun to unravel. Climate anomalies were worsening, and radiation storm alarms had become part of daily life. The Earth’s rotation was slowing down, breaking the balance between day and night. By then, underground bunkers were standard in every household. And humanoid robots had long since become common — handling deliveries, cleaning, caregiving... every part of life. (Image shown for context) 🔧 An Ordinary Day with a Rusty Robot Our protagonist was just another maintenance worker living in this era, doing bunker upkeep. His only companion? A clunky old robot named TOM, inherited from his grandfather.…
- Exploration Log #2: Life Amid the Ruins - 14 May 2025
Hello, Scavengers! This is your Relay Officer from Scavenger T.O.M. Today’s topic: Survival and how exploration and resource collection are key to staying alive. Survival begins with one thing: securing what you need. 🧭 The surface remains a dangerous wasteland, shrouded in mystery. But to keep going, we must send T.O.M to scavenge for crucial supplies — food, fuel, mechanical parts, and more. Every second counts, and every decision matters. Time and energy are precious in a world where everything is scarce. We’re currently working on developing the exploration loot system. It's not just about collecting — it's about constantly weighing what to carry, what to leave, and what your survival depends on. And for that, we’d love to hear your feedback! Here’s a sneak peek at some of the key item types under development: ⚙️ Core Items You Can Discover Through Exploration Canned food is a true…
- Exploration Log #1: Further and Deeper - 9 May 2025
Hello, fellow Scavengers! This is your Relay Officer from Scavenger T.O.M. Today, I want to share a key part of our development journey — a topic that means everything to survivors like us, who live underground while gazing up at the ruins above: growth. Exploring the surface is no simple task. It’s a suffocating wasteland filled with unpredictable dangers and forgotten relics. To claim anything from it, we need to be ready. And to be ready, we must grow — continuously and relentlessly. The only way to strengthen our underground life is to push further into the surface and secure even more valuable resources. So today, I’d like to introduce some of the core facilities currently in development that are key to that growth. (Please note: all content is still under development and may change in the final version.) 🔋 Charger – Time is Survival The amount of time T.O.M. can stay on the surfa…
- Exploration Log #0: Greetings from Underground - 30 April 2025
Hello, scavengers! This is your Relay Officer from the Scavenger T.O.M team. From now on, I’ll be sharing updates from both the surface and underground, serving as a small but steady line of communication between the dev team and you, the community. Since the game is still in development, some elements you see today may change over time. But we’d love to build this world with you, together—step by step. There will be moments when we need your input or ideas, so we truly appreciate your interest and support! 🔧 A World Above, Unlivable. Survival Below The story of Scavenger T.O.M begins in a world that has collapsed for unknown reasons—leaving behind nothing but contamination and desolation. The surface is no longer a place where humans can live. Life itself seems to have vanished. And yet, deep underground, a few survivors continue to cling to life. Among them is a once-humble household…
