Whispers of a Machine

I was really liking how this game played but it keeps crashing after about 5 minutes of play. When I restart the game, it goes back to the beginning and I lose everything I had done previously.

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.

Crashes too frequently to be enjoyable. Wish I could receive a refund, don’t waste your money

Total game took 6 hours or so—add an hour if you include all the crashes and restarts (M1 iPad Pro). The story is predictable and bland. The puzzles were generally pretty obvious even to this point-and-click novice—which I suppose could also mean they are well designed, but I never felt especially clever in solving them. Without the crashes, I suppose it would bump it up to three stars. The world-building seems interesting, but there are only gestures in the direction of that interesting world, and I don’t get the sense there’s much depth to its development beyond those gestures… I dunno—if you like your games “just okay” I suppose you could do worse. It passes the time.

Game is good but both the iPad and Mac version have a habit of crashing and loosing progress. I actual bought the iPad version because I thought it would be more stable I was wrong. But it was only a couple of bucks and the game is good from what I can tell so I’m not going to try to get a refund. My guess is if you can play this on windows that will most likely not result in as many crashes.

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 crash A 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

This game is phenomenal. The story is well written and isn’t obvious. The abilities add a special uniqueness to give you multiple play throughs without being too repetitive. The graphics are clean. It plays excellent on an iPhone 12. My only complaint is that it’s not a well optimized port: the game runs fine but it eats into your battery life like crazy. It’s be great if that could be addressed (and I tried playing on the lowest graphic setting). If you like point and click adventure games, mysteries, and a hint of sci fi, then definitely give this a shot.

I can’t get past the crime scene. It keeps telling me to go back and talk to the witness. Wasted $3.99.

A really fun little point and click adventure with great replay ability. The writing was fantastic, it has a really interesting conservative vs progressive ideology narrative and you can choose your own adventure (THANK YOU writers for staying neutral and not forcing us to take the leftist path, very refreshing) Overall highly recommended for point and click fans, the puzzles were just hard enough and I throughly enjoyed playing.

After playing, I noticed Dave Gilbert’s name in the credits. That would have clued me in that this was going to be a great game and done right. A true traditional mystery point and click. ...and that it was. The augmentations are genius. On top of that, the game plays based on what you do and say, so it plays different ways with different clues and objects for different people and thus different results. You could play again and choose differently. Did I mention the augmentations are genius? You’ll find out what that means. There’s even interactive action scenes with other characters. This game is a bargain and a must play for traditional point and click lovers.
