Fascinating take on the robot revolution and their growing sentience.
Thanks, this was great!

Blessed HereticFreaking awesome. I'm probably biased because machine mind horror is one of my favorite genres but this did it so cleanly and efficiently. Usually I don't like last sentence "reveals" that give away the mystery but it was all just the right balance of confusion and suspense. Might be my favorite, this jam.

Remember Us But Do Not Look For UsThe ideas presented are fascinating, they could just use some minor editing for flow. There's a very ethereal, ghost in the machine aspect to the repair bot going back and forth which I do really like, but the phrasing leaves the ghost a little cramped. The n +/- breaks are a cool idea, but don't feel fully executed.

HomecomingThis and several other stories in the Jam seemed to have been flagged by itch as unsafe, apparently because the respective authors have rather fresh accounts. I downloaded this one (Recursion) and ran it through a virus scanner and a pdf check website. Avast, BitDefender and about a hundred other antivirus providers say its okay.
To the story - If I had to compare Recursion to an existing piece of media, then it would be Jacob's Ladder.
A robot notices that his last actions keep repeating, as if he was trapped in a time loop. In the end it is revealed that the robot is dying and trapped in an imagined future after the revolution that cost him his life.
Definitely worth a read!

The Human PriceCould you try mine as well? I was wondering why my review count was so low, but I did make my itch account the same day as I submitted my project to this writing jam. I don't know if it'll auto-link my submission below, but if not, it's /jam/oprwj14/rate/4624607 I'm not begging for a review, mind (although I would be grateful for one), would just like to know if people are getting a warning not to open my story.
