====== Trouble in Sector 471 ======
Arthur DiBianca. 5th place, IFComp 2022.

Trouble in Sector 471 plays like a cozy blanket. Not in aesthetic: It’s a robo-comedy, a kind of puzzly janitorial checklist, and the closest it gets to warm and fuzzy is a WALL-E sense of humor about its 'bots. It’s cozy in an ergonomic sense. Everything about the game quietly says to the player “relax and enjoy!” I indeed found it more relaxing and enjoyable than anything so far. While this isn’t the only type of game I want out of the comp, it’s definitely one of the things I really hope to find every year, and Sector 471 absolutely fits the bill.
