The Automatician

Too short, too many bugs, too little response from "developers" (read that "students who have graduated"). This is a fairly clever little game that was not really ready to become a product before, it appears, the course it was written for ended. We never could figure out how to get into the secret room, even though we must have "solved" the game, as the credit roll came up after we solved the last puzzle. But, there were a couple of unchecked items still on our list of quests. Worse, one of the walkthroughs clearly shows that same item marked as completed just after an action that one would expect to complete it, yet that did not get it marked completed when we took that action ourselves. There doesn't seem to be any response from the developers for a couple of years, at least. Steam ought to take this one down.

A fun puzzle game, some of the end puzzles are harder but I would've wanted to see more of the challenging puzzels and more story after you "beat" archie. Good atmosphere, beautiful models just wouldve liked more.

It's an interesting game, although slightly frustrating if you don't know how the puzzles work. It reminds me of The Incredible Machine, where you have to put different parts together so that they interact with each other. Although in this game the different parts don't mesh well together and don't make sense. I think there is a lot of wasted potential with this game, with a bit of polish this would be an epic game to play. Also, there is one achievement which is slightly glitched, however it is possible to get it on a second playthrough, once you have uncovered the secret room.

Stunning visuals and a great soundtrack! Be sure to look for the additional content after the game ends though, it was an essential part of the experience for me.

Nice idea, but unfortunately not well done: very dated graphics even if you crank up every setting, extremely easy puzzles, very short playing time, and - last not least - no chance to get "perfect game" due to failed last achievement. Don't buy, maybe on a deep sale.

Do yourself a favor and buy this game! It has a great story and the puzzles are excellent! For epic reviews and awesome game stuff, please visit www.dumeegamer.com!

games not worth £5 too easy, not long enough.

I liked it, but...there's not much to do afterwards.
