Artificial intelligence is strictly forbidden, she warns, and the police will come for anyone who tries to make something that can think for itself. But what about my parents, one quick-thinking student asks. They made me, and I can think for myself. Are they going to jail? It doesn't quite arrive at the philosophical weight it aspires to. Whispers of a Machine is a good adventure game, clever at times, but the heavy concepts it flirts with at the outset quickly give way to a conventional murder mystery in an unconventional setting: A vaguely post-apocalyptic world scarred by the long-ago, for-reasons-unknown collapse of the AI-driven computers and machines that humanity had grown to rely on. As a result of that breakdown, the world is kind of shitty, although not necessarily any shittier than it's going to be in 20 years anyway. Work is communal, living quarters are cramped and spartan, and there's an air of oppression that hangs over everything. If nothing else, it's believable. Vera Englund is one of this world’s most elite operatives, a special agent of the Central Bureau who's been sent to the remote town of Nordsund to investigate a grisly murder. But when she arrives, she discovers that one murder has become two, and then three—the situation is obviously more complicated than she expected. Fortunately for all involved (except the bad guy), Englund comes equipped with a number of special abilities as a result of "taking the Blue," a slang term for being injected with a nebulous nanofluid that confers abilities like enhanced strength and a "forensic scanner" that can detect and analyze clues. Later in the game she’ll also develop personalized abilities, which is where things start to get interesting. In the game's fiction, the Blue adapts to suit each user's needs. In practical terms, the choices you make in action and conversation will pull Vera's personality in one of three directions—empathetic, analytical, or assertive—which will in turn determine which enhancements she ends up with. You might be able to take on the appearance of someone else, or vanish from sight entirely; some agents can inflict short-term amnesia on NPCs, while others can bend them to their will with the mind-control whammy. Building character Upping the stakes even further, Whispers of a Machine does not allow manual saves. The RPG-esque character development is the most interesting thing about Whispers of a Machine, and the irony is that unless you're really paying attention you're quite likely to miss it. There's no indication that you developed this ability instead of that one—the abilities simply unlock, and you get on with your day. It’s a stealthy system that belies the game’s complexity,...Whispers of a Machine patch v.1.0.3 up!Apr 23, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog: Vera will now properly explain why she won't pick up a thing that looks exactly like a thing she is looking for, but, uh... isn't the actual thing. Put in an additional hint for a puzzle connected to the museum, to try and reduce the number of pitchforks currently wielded outside our office. Vera no longer receives two copies of a certain key, potentially resulting in various assorted glitches. Fixed two instances of Vera getting stuck in places and unable to move. She is no longer enchanted to the point of paralysis by sleeping men and certain trash cans. An adversary will no longer be detected by the bioanalyzer after they left the room when playing on certain graphics settings. Vera no longer sometimes claims she has picked up imaginary items when searching through containers. Various improvements and tweaks for the French translation. For instance, "finger" is no longer translated as "should". You're welcome. Don't allow showing hotspots with tab if shift is held down, to avoid interfering with the Steam overlay. Whispers of a Machine patch v.1.0.2 up!Apr 18, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsChangelog: Fixed a crash on some monitor resolutions when opening the codex. Fixed a slight music descync during a certain confrontation. Fixed Vera's idles sometimes triggering in the wrong situations, making her snap out of some animations. Fixed Vera getting stuck in a crawling state if turning on and off the last empathetic unlock in a certain way. Fixed Vera giving a muscle boost hint on one occasion before having a reason to use her strength on that object. Fixed Vera telling a certain character that she fixed a thing before she actually fixed the thing. Wot I Think: Whispers Of A MachineApr 18, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Developer: Clifftop Games Publisher: Raw Fury Release: Out now On: Windows, Mac From: GOG, Steam Price: 11.39, $15, 15 You know what? Sometimes I’m just in the mood for a straightforward point-and-click adventure game. And while I’ll admit I thought the opening of Whispers Of A Machine suggested this was going to be a big twist on the format, and was pretty thrilled by where it suggested it might be going, I’m actually all good with how clear-cut it eventually felt to play. Because there are almost none of these left, just an adventure game that that wants to tell a story. And this follow-up from the Kathy Rain team, Clifftop Games, does exactly that job. (more…) Whispers of a Machine is OUT NOW!!!Apr 17, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsTake a ride to the cloudy, remote town of Nordsund, bring your best trench coat, and enter a near-future where artificial intelligence has been banned and made taboo by society. Or so we thought… https://youtu.be/9D4ZMe6AtQk Whispers of a Machine is the sophomore release from Clifftop Games and Faravid Interactive, and it’s available now on PC and mobile. It tells the gripping tale of Vera, a special agent investigating a murder with the use of cybernetic augmentations. But as one thread pulls and the tale unravels, she finds that the truth may be more complicated (and more dangerous for humanity) than it seems. Want a quick primer of what to expect? Check out the video below! https://youtu.be/Nm8fZDUL5-Y We’re distinctly honored and proud to release Whispers of a Machine into the wild as the second game from Clifftop Games to grace our portfolio. Kathy Rain was a powerful example of how the point-and-click adventure genre can enable excellent storytelling and puzzle-solving in a graceful and mature manner; and Whispers is no exception. It has been a thrill getting to this point, and we can’t wait to hear what you all think! https://store.steampowered.com/app/631570/Whispers_of_a_Machine/
