AI was embedded everywhere. In our cars, in our homes. In the clothes we wore. For some of us, even inside our own bodies.

Dreading the Singularity, mankind abruptly put an end to AI. The result was a worldwide technological collapse.





Generations later, Vera, a federal homicide detective is sent to rural outpost Nordsund to investigate a string of murders.

Vera soon finds herself pulled into an invisible war about technology and religion. While some want to awaken the Singularity, seen as a last deity in a godless world, others are vehement technophobes.











Whispers of a Machine features handpainted 640x360 graphics and an exciting story with existential twists.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU IN HOW MANY DIFFERENT PLACES THAT THIS GAME IS FUCKING AMAZING?!?!?!

Silly quirky humor aside, I have not finished it yet, but so far loving it with all my heart!
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Looks like a good game but I appear to be stuck in the first room - or perhaps I don't understand the interface.
Figured out the interface.  Good game.

I'm in the room with the worker, the policeman and the dead body.  I want to leave to go to the town but I'm not allowed to leave because the worker has some more information I apparently need.

Fine work, Andail! Do you planning a sequel or another cyberpunk game?

Have you been to the dormitory? There are two exits near each other at the far end of the locker room, try pressing space to see the hotspots

Thanks! Joel will likely continue on Kathy Rain 2 sooner or later, but I'll probably take a break from the traditional point and click adventures myself.

I love this image just generally as a work of art.

Congrats on the release, dude!

This game is amazing.  I'm a bit frustrated at the moment playing it because I'm stuck on Day 2 and every YouTube walkthrough I've seen thus far has a different new "talent" than me. I solved one mainpuzzle differently than the other players, and now I can't get Day 2 to end.  I love this game so much—a lot of its elements remind me of Technobabylon, which I also loved.  The artwork is gorgeous.  I can't wait to find out more about the main character's backstory.  I just want to be able to keep playing, lol...

Just one question (that I hate to ask):  will there be a walkthrough?
