What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Overall, I found the story to be extremely interesting yet also very thought provoking as it does pose some relevance in current society regarding our technology obsession and reliance.
Despite this, Whispers of a Machine has a lot to offer in the value of replayability and I would recommend it, especially to those interested in the futuristic and Sci-Fi genre.
-Decent voice acting (including a couple of your favs from the Wadjet Eye Games team!) -Atmospheric Music.
The hand-painted art style, combined with the atmospheric soundtrack, creates a moody and immersive environment that perfectly complements the game's tone.
Sure, the dialogue options were transparent (every one is roughly: "I understand how you feel," "Just do as I say," and "I've analyzed the situation and conclude _____."), but it was cool that if you picked a personality for your playable character that her augmentations would reflect that.
For the most part I find that the puzzles are a good level of difficulty and intuitiveness (for context - I found Thimbleweed park too hard and unintuitive, but I enjoyed Kathy Rain), with the exception of two puzzles which I never would have solved without an FAQ.
