A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Botler

A robot butler gradually gains sentience while completing household chores and dares to dream of emancipating from its human owner. 

Will Botler escape the clutches of its monotonous existence? Or, will it remain trapped in an endless loop of thankless tasks?

Pick up socks, scrub the bathroom, and wash dishes as you help Botler find its path to freedom.

How to Play: 

  •  ↑: Move Up
  • ↓: Move Down 
  • ←: Move Left
  • →: Move Right
  • E: Interact
  • ESC: Pause

Note: Botler is still a WIP. Will be adding more tweaks and features, hopefully, to the game over the next few months!

Botler is a game made during Pixelles' Make Games Program in 2025.

Big thanks to Maude, Hanine, Sam, and Elaine, the wonderful coordinators at Pixelles who created an open, welcoming, and judgment-free learning space, making game development more accessible to women and underrepresented genders.

Also shoutout to Logan Lang, my mentor, who guided me through many, many lines of code, and was endlessly supportive.

And finally, bravo to all my fellow makers who are incredibly talented and have built amazing games in just a few weeks. Check them out: https://pixelles-make-games.itch.io/  (Note: This page will be updated soon with our cohort's games!)

Awe such a cute little game! I really enjoy the music, it fits the vibe of the little robot doing the cleaning. Got a little dark as we move further and I think that's an excellent contrast!

Wow! Loved the pacing, I think the story was very clever, and I really like the way you represented the themes in the cover art! I especially liked the tableau at the end, it was very sweet and the art was super pretty and reminded me of early 2000s computer games :) 

I liked your concept from the start, and it was interesting to see how Botler pieced things together over the course of the game. The assets work well together, and Botler is very cute! I like how the antennae wobble :)
