Whispers of a Machine Reviews

Excellent game

This game is symbolism laden and excellent for a source of high brow meta analysis.

[h1] Scandinavian post-cyberpunk is fascinating. [/h1] A detective point and click game with RPG elements, an unusual setting and a femme fatale as protagonist.

Pretty cool post apocalyptic cyberpunk point-n-click adventure. It makes interesting use of its engine and setting to give additional options beyond "just click on this thing." I found the puzzles very logical and straightforward, but I've been playing these games since before Steam (Sierra, Lucasarts). A very small number of puzzles require timing. It is a bit on the short side, but goes for quality over quantity I'd say.

This was a fun point and click adventure, as of this writing I'm about to play through a second time to try some of the options I didn't try before. The game gave me some of the vibes of Beneath a Steel Sky, though it was its own compelling story. If you like 90's point and click adventure games, I recommend this. It has enough of the 90's features with it's own mechanisms to add something new.

honestly I'm pretty impressed about how much is packed into this game, story, mechanics and multiple paths to progress and explore the world they've built. More than the simple point and click I expected. There's a lot of voiced dialogue in here too, though it's not the best quality and writing and delivery are wooden. That is made up for by the overall package the game offers though, and its hardly surprising that a game of this size can't do everything. It's a really good little adventure for this price point (and I got it on sale too!)
