Whispers of a Machine

Whispers of a Machine is a game that combines elements of science-fiction, Nordic noir, and mystery. You will be stepping into the shoes of Vera, a special agent who is augmented with cybernetic enhancements, as she investigates a series of brutal murders. The truth behind these killings is far from straightforward, however, as Vera discovers links to a group of fanatics who are determined to create an outlawed AI superintelligence. Complicating matters further is Vera's own emotional baggage. A past trauma comes back to haunt her, causing her to question her own sanity and perhaps even the values she holds dear. As a Central Bureau agent, she has access to Blue, a rare nano-substance that endows her with superhuman abilities that adapt to her unique psychological profile. As you play, you will need to choose Vera's playstyle and decide on the approach she takes to each situation. Will you have her behave empathetically, analytically, or assertively? This choice will affect her augmentations and the types of puzzles she'll need to solve. You will use your skills of investigation, gathering information, and puzzle-solving to progress through the story. The game takes place in a post-AI futuristic dystopia that draws heavily on Nordic design aesthetic. You will explore beautifully hand-drawn pixel art environments in this realized world. The point-and-click adventure genre is given new life by the innovative gameplay elements that the experienced developers have added. The game's story features over 4,000 lines of dialogue, all of which are professionally voiced in English. The voice acting is directed by Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye Games, providing an immersive and engaging experience. With multiple endings and emotionally gripping story beats, every action you take as Vera will have monumental consequences that can affect all of humanity.
