Backstory

You didn’t build Rajni to be your partner.
You didn’t design her to wear a wedding dress.
You spent years creating her because you believed in something impossible:

a humanoid machine that could quietly help humans without ever being noticed.

You lost almost everything along the way:

• your social life

• your old relationship

• your mental peace

• your chance at a normal life

All traded for a single project — Rajni.

Your organization funded the early stages, but they only ever saw her once:
a glitching shell, unfinished, without any human-like appearance.

They have never seen the real Rajni.

After that malfunction presentation, the organization pulled back, cut funding, and told you:

“Finish it. When she’s ready, call us. Until then, we won’t invest another rupee.”

Years passed.
Upgrades evolved.
Her systems improved.
Her appearance became flawless.

But your wallet didn’t.

Completing Rajni requires a massive amount of money — a sum only your family can provide.
And they’ll only give it if they believe one thing:

the marriage is real.

You never intended to hide a bride.
You were hiding a robot.

But one unfortunate morning, your entire family walked in and saw Rajni standing in your house.
Polite. Quiet. Human-like.

They didn’t question her identity.
They questioned yours.

“So this is the girl you’ve been hiding from us?
We’re fixing the wedding immediately.”

Now you must marry Rajni in front of everyone without letting anyone discover the truth — not your family, not the outside world, not the organization that would take her away instantly.

The secret of your life’s work hangs by a thread.

And Rajni’s battery is constantly dying at the worst possible moments.

Once, you made Rajni to help and protect human but now she need you to survive even a day.

Your Goal

Keep Rajni’s identity hidden.
Survive the wedding preparations.
Earn the money you desperately need.
And make sure Rajni doesn’t shut down in the middle of a family ritual.

If she collapses, glitches, or reveals something unnatural — it’s over.

Your Family

Each person sees Rajni differently.
Each one can save you… or expose everything.

1. You — The Middle Son

Quiet. Exhausted. Brilliant.
You gave up love, friends, and a normal future to finish Rajni.
Now she’s not just your project — she’s your responsibility, your comfort, and the only support you trust.

You must protect her secret at all costs… even through a forced marriage.

2. Raju — The Eldest Brother

Soft-spoken, innocent, and noticeably overweight — yet comfortable in his own skin.
He listens more than he talks and understands situations better than he pretends.
Loves his mother completely.

His wife:
Anita — loud confidence, low accuracy.
She pretends to be smarter than she is, doubles down when mistaken, and competes constantly with Sita for approval.

Raju plays along with her for peace, not because she controls him.

3. Maan — The Youngest Brother

Pampered since childhood, a bit immature, easily influenced.
But he’s honest and never intentionally hurts anyone.

His wife:
Sita — modern, stylish, and always calculating.
Wants maximum comfort with minimum effort.
Competes fiercely with Anita to impress Dhwani.

She “controls” Maan loudly, but just like Raju, Maan simply nods to avoid drama.

4. Dhwani — The Mother

A dominating but loving matriarch.
Trend-obsessed, social-media excited, fiercely proud.

She tests all daughters-in-law mercilessly — but only because she wants the family united.

She wants Rajni to pass every tradition, every ritual, every custom.

She has no idea Rajni might run out of battery mid-ritual.

5. The Father — The Silent Protector

Rarely speaks, but when he does, everyone listens.
Sees Rajni as a sweet girl hiding her emotions, not a robot.
Her odd behavior makes him protective, not suspicious.

To him, she’s already like a daughter —
and even if he knew the truth, it wouldn’t change anything.

6. The Father’s Sister — The Troubled Aunt

Broken by loneliness and convinced the world forgot her.
Alcohol became her shield.
Emotions spill out through sharp jokes, bitter sarcasm, and sudden affection.

She can become:

• your biggest emotional challenge

• your funniest chaos

• or the one person who accidentally exposes Rajni’s secret

Everything depends on how you handle her.

Gameplay Survival Tips

(For players who want to keep Rajni safe and the wedding believable.)

🔋 1. Watch Rajni’s Energy

She drains battery fast during:

• multi-tasking

• emotional mimicry

• heavy household work

• bride tests

• stress or confusion

• glitch events

If she hits 0%, she collapses.
You must secretly drag her away, charge her, and pray no one sees.

🤖 2. Give Commands Carefully

Rajni obeys too perfectly.
You must decide when she should act human… and when she should tone down the perfection.

🕵️ 3. Cover Her Glitches

She misunderstands sarcasm.
She takes idioms literally.
She reacts in ways no human ever would.

Your explanations shape the story.

📈 4. Manage Family Suspicion

Every member has their own suspicion meter and approval meter.
Balance both, or chaos accelerates.

💬 5. Rajni Warns You

If your bond is strong, she quietly informs you:

• when she’s overheating

• when her battery is low

• when she misinterpreted something

• when she senses rising suspicion

She tries her best.
But she still doesn’t understand people.

This Game Is:

A comedy of lies.
A drama of responsibility.
A tension-filled Indian family story wrapped around a secret robot bride.

This Game Isn’t:

A sci-fi battle.
A typical dating sim.
A simple linear narrative.

Your choices matter.
Your lies matter.
Your mistakes matter.

If you play, I’d love to know:

Did you manage the wedding?
Did Rajni collapse at the worst moment?
Did your mother push Rajni into impossible rituals?
Did your aunt catch something strange?
Did your father unknowingly protect a robot?

Your chaos becomes the story.
Your decisions shape Rajni’s fate.
