N.U.D.E.@ Natural Ultimate Digital Experiment is a life simulation video game released exclusively for the Xbox in Japan. In this simulation-style game, the player assumes the role of tester for a new product: a female humanoid robot called P.A.S.S. (Personal Assist Secretary System). The robot starts with minimal functionality and must be taught language and tasks by the player. This is achieved through voice commands issued using the included headset, the Xbox Communicator. [1]

The game incorporates the Xbox's internal clock to track time, which influences gameplay in various ways. [2] Its concept is similar to the Sega Dreamcast game Seaman , where the player interacts with an avatar via voice. [2]

N.U.D.E.@ Natural Ultimate Digital Experiment was announced on 19 September, 2002, and a promotional video was showcased at the 2002 Tokyo Game Show. [3]
