Its use of cramped spaces early on, much of the first quarter Josef is found rummaging through pipes or small rooms, to great effect. From broken piano riff’s to some impromptu dub-step, the score compliments the vibrant decay of the city itself, mimicking the open areas with pronounced strings while using ambient effects to create an enclosed atmosphere when needed. Produced by Thomas Dvorak, unfortunately not the famous decathlete, it adds a layer of sumptuous & often haunting ambience to the levels of the game.

Similar to Axel & Pixel or Full Pipe, backgrounds and even characters are stunningly hand drawn with a granular depth, usually saved for AAA titles like Gears of War. Also, playing a little 30 second side-scrolling shoot ‘em up of sorts requires you to at least complete a small task before unlocking the games secrets, instead of jumping straight into FAQ land immediately. This also applies to the games built in walkthrough and hints system which shows diagrams as a means to explain what you have to do on any given screen. It adds a depth of repercussion to your actions that is only heightened with the use of speech bubbles filled with images replacing voice acting during the narrative & extra-narrative dialogue.

In-game, the world immerses you to a sufficient degree, with a plethora of touches you’ll find jesting or even comical. This overall character is one of Machinearium’s inherent strengths. This theme is given further emphasis through the early game, where Josef encounters the three antagonists, escaping their grasp through some solid puzzling. This gives the game a sense of direction, with clear plot progression & good versus evil dynamics from the offset. Due to this predicament, he has split from a girl robot love interest and quests to find her, after the game’s antagonists (known as the Black Cap Brotherhood) kidnapped her. Players take on the role of the robot Josef, who is thrown out of the machine city at the beginning of the game, for a case of mistaken identity later extrapolated upon.

This Machinarium review will look back at why this game was successful and evaluate its overall thematic design philosophy.
