Machinika: Museum

Ok....I absolutely LOVED this!!! As a researcher in a museum, you've been sent a bunch of broken alien junk, your job is to figure out what it is, and what it does....the best part? You get NO HELP, and have to figure it all from absolute scratch! The items are all connected, and part of a large mystery, but that's something you'll have to figure out as well! You have several handy tools to help in your investigations/repairs, like a 3D printer to duplicate simple objects, an endoscope to see inside of items, and a fantastic variable screwdriver that I wish I had IRL! The graphics are very nice, and the devices are interesting and well designed. The soundtrack is quite relaxing. The puzzles are all complicated, but can be solved with basic logic + fiddling around with stuff. I won in a little under 3hrs, tho it didn't feel that long at all. This is pretty much a perfect game for me! It's rare to find a game I don't want to step away from for a bit, but this had me completely hooked and eager to solve this device, see what it does, and get to the next one! I got this for free, but It's totally worth its price, and I'll be getting the sequel!

It's a nice little romp through some puzzles with a good story to it. If you like The Room series, this is a good little inspiration from it.

Wow, this is amazing! Far from a knock-off. It's really well made and cohesive. The attention to detail and the sound design... stuff like that makes the difference for me.

This game is short and sweet. The puzzles were mostly on the simple side, but I had a lot of fun solving them, and it was satisfying to see everything click into place once a puzzle (or part of a puzzle) was done. All in all, this game is a good way to spend one afternoon.

Fun, short puzzle game.
