The Enigma Machine

Excellent retro style graphics that really push the eerie atmosphere. Most puzzles are fairly simplistic but rewarding enough. The narrative is interesting but I do wish there was a bit more depth/build up to it. A nice short Sci-fi horror experience. Some of the design choices were a little annoying, like absurdly small text for some dialogue and no highlighted keys for the keyboard. Worth the price, if you enjoy it check out Mothered by the same dev. *Product Received for Free*

This game while short is an intresting sci-fi walking simulator with horror elements. It can be completed in a few hours but is a decent few hours. If you like a walking simulator with light puzzle and horror elements dealing with AI with retro style graphics then take a look, but with the caveat if it is on sale.

Nice game, very thrilling environment and i didn't even need a keyboard👀. However, like other reviews, I think its a little short and has potential to be a full project. Still good tho, so check it out.

In a way its got Hypnospace Outlaw vibes. which i absolutely love that game. i do have an issue with a bug though. if you can't spend the full hour or so to finish the game and have to save and quit then the next time you play it will make you start over. when i type quit and yes in the prompt the game locks. it would'nt bother me so bad if you could speed up the text. but to go through it all again is daunting. also, being able to change text size, inverted look and look speed would make the experience a lot better. overall though the game is fun and interesting. especially if you're an old school text/point and click adventure gamer like me.
