EDIT 12-03-2003:
14H15M GMT time - A corrected version of the game is now ready for download at the same place. (The executable file is now TUMv11.exe, etc )

Also, for those that are already playing the buged version (TUMv1.exe), it seems that a savegame will work - I still didn't have time to play it until the bug... It may be ready for download at 19H00 GMT

If you're playing the bugged version, also:
1. DO NOT use map when inside warehouse
2.  There are 4 objects in the inventory that when right clicked when in "zoomed view" create a deadend - so, save before trying to look at inventory objects when in zoom view
...

After one year in the making, The Uncertainty Machine is out...

The game is supposed to borrow elements from Broken Sword-type games and science-fiction novels...

Set in the near future, in the western world, the game features a young female reporter. She'll start the day investigating a minor bulglary - her curiosity will soon instigate her to know more, and know more she eventually will.

Go get the game at the games page (full length), or thru my page www.freewebs.com/ratracer ...

The released game is supposed to be version 1 (meaning that - maybe ! - there will be another version, but only with an updated music score).

I have written a WT for the desperate ones - post or email me if you need it!

After seeing how Neole was impressed with this one, I am can't wait (though he does seem to have a phobia of stories  ;)). Downloading now.

Yay can't wait to play this one :)

Only thing is... download is bit too big to download on my connection so I have to probably go to my friends place and download it there.

Music is being screwy for me.

The first tune in the game itself sounds like, well, noise to me. A lot of it. What do I do?

yeah, too big of a download for me, so this may take a while, but I checked out your sites and the graphics, it looks really nice and professional.

Barcik, I don't know! I had some problems with 2 musics during development stage, but I resampled them and they started playing fine.

Do you have Win98?
Are all the "musics" like noise?

There's is ONE music (the mugging!) that I wouldn't be suprised if you called that "noise" since it's Zero Tolerance for Silence...
...

Barcik

The ones in the menu sounded ok.

I am running XP.

It is the first tune in the game - when she is standing outside and seeing the muggery.

That music is supposed to have no melody whatsoever, so maybe you call that noise.... It's a screeming guitar or something, right?

I'm having difficulty downloading. When I click in the link it takes me to http://www.web1000.com (or something like that) with no opportunity to download...

For some reason I couldn't download it from your website, but am now currently downloading it just fine from AGS's games page. I'll tell you what I think once it's finished (which might take a while).

Brilliant, ratracer, can't wait to play it!
Just by reading the description and looking at the pictures, I love it :)

EDIT: Trying it out now. I have a feeling this might be one of the absolute best games so far...superb gameplay....everything is great

Boys, you're making me nervous...!!! Don't get those expectations so high, the game might fall flat on your face...

Anyway, thanks for trying it out...

For those that may have trouble downloading it, here's the URL (courtesy of LGM!!!) :

(the previous (TUMv1.exe) version had still a few bugs, but now at the same URL and SAME zipfile, there's a cleaner version (TUMv11.exe,...))

I found some bugs :
Spoiler
In the dock 65-A, as I couldn't find a way out in the black room (the one after having oppened the container) I looked at the map, and so I were able to come back to the entrance, but this time, the container was closed, and there's no way to open it.

Strangely, after having modified the key in the close-up, Susan is positioned in the middle of the screen, and sadly, not on a walkable-area... So for the moment, I'm stuck!

If you look at the machine shematics and you right-clic on the museum key, you can't anymore leave the machine shematics close-up.
