The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day is an adventure video game developed by New Game Order. Players explore a post-apocalyptic future ruled by sentient robots.
In a post-apocalyptic future, sentient robots take over the world. Players control RT-217NP, a robot who scavenges the remnants of human technology. The game is played from a third-person perspective, and players hear RT-217NP's thoughts on human society as they interact with the world. After completing various puzzles involving gathering parts to repair technology, players discover that humans are not extinct, as thought.
