"A gamers pixel point-and-click dream" -The Daily Fandom "one of the most substantial point-and-click adventures we've played in a while" -Newsweek "nostalgic, emotional, and beautiful" -Noisy Pixel ----- Whispers of a Machine is a Sci-Fi Nordic Noir that tells the story of Vera, a cybernetically augmented special agent tasked with investigating a string of murders. These brutal killings obscure a sinister truth, as Vera soon finds ties to a group of fanatics committed to creating an AI superintelligence — a pursuit outlawed for nearly a century. Complicating things, a great loss from Vera's past comes back to haunt her, making her question her own sanity and everything she stands for. As an agent of the Central Bureau, Vera is equipped with an advanced nano-substance called Blue. This rare and sought-after technology allows her to develop superhuman abilities adapted to her psychological mindset. Choose your playstyle and utilize these augmentations to investigate, gather information, and solve puzzles with multiple solutions. Will Vera’s unique blend of skills and intuition be enough to solve the case, or will she discover that things are more ambiguous than they seemed? In this emotionally gripping story with existential twists and multiple endings, Vera's actions will have monumental consequences not only for herself, but for all of humanity... - INVESTIGATION, AUGMENTED: Will Vera approach situations with a more empathetic, analytical, or assertive style? Your choices will impact her augmentations and subsequent puzzle solutions. - A POST-AI FUTURISTIC DYSTOPIA: Immerse yourself in a realized world of beautifully hand-drawn pixel art design and gorgeous settings influenced by the Nordics. - POINT-AND-CLICK INNOVATION: A groundbreaking entry to the point-and-click adventure game genre by the experienced developers of Kathy Rain and The Samaritan Paradox. - PROFESSIONALLY VOICED: 4,000+ lines of dialogue with full English voice acting, directed by Wadjet Eye Games' Dave Gilbert. ** Images featured above have been taken on devices that support 16:9 resolution.

I had a great time with this game. Total playtime was probably about 15 hours or so to complete by my estimate. Definitely worth the price in my opinion. I think the difficulty was perfect. I was able to complete it without looking at any hints, although there was definitely a handful of spots which made me have to put take a step back and reassess the situation in the game for an idea of what to do to progress. I think that’s where the fun comes from in this game. I highly encourage players not to jump to quickly to look at hints. I promise you that if you think logically and revisit the areas that are open to you that no puzzle was obscure enough to need a hint to pass. Pro tip: You can speed up traveling across the screen to enter a different area by double tapping on the area or door you’re trying to enter. It’ll teleport your player there instead of waiting for the animation of her walking all the way to the area. Didn’t learn that until I was nearly done with the game.

I really liked the storyline of this game, it is very compelling. I did really like the fact that tools you receive throughout the game are based on your choices. I also enjoyed the tools that you do get in the game. For instance, the scanning tool is a very cool concept. Overall it was a great game. Although I had an overall positive experience with this game, I do have a few critiques. I did have a game save issue one time. I had closed the game out once, and when I came back I had lost progress. Also, the controls of the inventory are annoying on an iPhone bc when you try to drag them to interact, the phone backs out of the game to where you can view the current app and all other apps that are open. So you have to tap the game after almost every time you try to drag an inventory item. That is very annoying. I also am not a fan of repeating dialogue or pixel graphics (lower quality graphics) I’ve become spoiled to higher quality graphics with other P&C adventure games I’ve played. If you can get past the things I’ve mentioned, then this is a great game.

This game is just all around so well thought out, executed, and fun until the very last second. I love Kathy Rain just as much so I wasn’t surprised when I finished and all I kept wanting to do was replay this game. Trust me when I say you won’t regret the purchase. I don’t leave reviews often, but this game was incredible and deserved one. Developers, I love all your point and click adventure games, I’m begging you to please make more lol By reading the reviews and chatting with other fans, it’s very clear I’m not the only one looking forward to anything you put out. Would love to know if we can expect any p&c games in the near future! Thank you for all your hard work.

This game really is PHENOMENAL!Only reason for my 4 ⭐️ My iPad mini 6th Gen (2021 Model) is up to date with iPad OS 16.5 This game is constantly crashing, it’s a spontaneous bug - I can’t track it, so I can replicate it, but here is what I have identified:• Crashes as soon as I continue a saved game or start new game• Crashes if I play (a saved game or new game) within 10 minutes• Crashes if I play (a saved game or new game) within 2 minutes• Crashes if I play (a saved game or new game) an hour later or so• During first crime scene, after you scan the victim with smart mode, as soon as you tap the scan tool with the victim’s bio (the scan tool called Karl) the game will crashA very sporadic bug. I know it’s 2023 and this game was released awhile ago, but PLEASE FIX. This issue ruins what I would describe an immersive *experience* of being a future detective. APPLES -> VISION PRO:I actually want to play this game on my vision pro when it buy it, the Vision Pro has eye tracking (i use my eyes to make selections) and finger pinching gestures (my forefinger and thumb touch each other) and this is how we interact with apps - this game will be right at home. HERE ARE MY TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS: - Rebooted my iPad - Closed out the game, then relaunched game - Uninstalled game & Reinstalled the game - Powered down iPad and turned back on iPad
