Teardown: At least we can't break anything in the ElectriX Mechanic Simulator. Right?

In the "ElectriX Mechanic Simulator" you can try your hand at being a handyman risk-free. The most you can do here is virtually wreck mobile phones. But the game is not entirely without danger, as Raphi and Phil find out today from 1 pm.

If that's not the perfect game for our Teardown theme week. In "ElectriX Mechanic Simulator" you repair smartphones, PCs or old Game Boys. I definitely don't have to be afraid of breaking anything. Unlike my Switch project, which I haven't given up on yet.

"ElectriX Mechanic Simulator" was funded via a Kickstarter campaign. This also gives you access to the playable demo, which Raphi and I try out in our weekly Let's Play. However, the game is not a pure simulator, as the trailer makes clear. The craft game has a story that begins with a cryptic message similar to "Matrix". And just like in the film, there is a dark conspiracy behind it.

At least that's what the developers SimFabric claim. However, there has apparently been no update for a year, while other games are being worked on at the same time. So if I were you, I would hold off on supporting the Kickstarter campaign. Just watch our video instead. It's cheaper and offers better entertainment anyway.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
