There was once a great scientist and inventor named Gepetto, who lived on an island farm together with his creations, his robotic helper, the pixie Tinker, and his pet animals. His greatest creation was an artificial boy named Pino. No, he was not carved from wood, but looked just like a real boy - only he could turn his head 360 degrees. But Gepetto was arrested for an unknown reason. The boy Pino looks like a real boy, but he was completed just a few moments ago, and he knows absolutely nothing. All he can do is wander aimlessly, poking objects and turning his head. It is up to the player to make Pino a real man!
Wonder Project J: Kikai no Shōnen Pino is an action & adventure game where the player must educate the artificial boy Pino using the robotic pixie Tinker. The gameplay involves moving Tinker around, examining objects and collecting them in an adventure-like fashion. Pino will follow Tinker's direction until the player stops him, and he'll also pick up objects to make his own "experiments". The goal is to train Pino in various disciplines, raising his stats in a RPG style by trying different activities.
