About Coup of Appliance
You walk between rooms with WASD or the arrow keys, meet appliances that have joined the uprising, and fight them in simple JRPG-style battles navigated with the keys or the mouse. There is no level system or skill tree; the game hands you what you need and asks you to search the rooms for item stashes before the final showdown. An F1 cheat is there if you get bored.
