You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.

What is wrong with you people?
THEY JUST RELEASED THE FUCKING NEW WEBSITE, THEY STARTED RELEASING THE NEW GAMES THEY SAID THEY'D RELEASE. SO OF COURSE THEY'LL BE NEW GAMES FOR THE TIME BEING THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE GIVING UP ON OLD GAME.
FFS, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Your sense of entitlement animates my black heart...

DebugMode: Is it a flash game like Samorost?

Leroux: I'd be very surprised if it wasn't because the retail version is. It's not a browser game, and you can run it full screen, but it was still created with Flash.

SimonG: No old game release this week... For all your assurancesn of not abandoning the core audience I would have loved to see some action behind those words.
avatar
Leroux: I have to agree. Not that I'm annoyed by it personally, since I only just bought Anachronox yesterday and Machinarium is a title worthy of being included in GOG's catalogue, but releasing a good old game today would have been a smart move to dispel the most serious doubts and fears about GOG's future direction. After all those customers who embrace the new games already got more than their share on Tuesday.

Then again, isn't it a little early for the release, don't they usually post the news items at 8:00 EDT? So we can still hope it's just another PR stunt to cause a stir and that they will make up for it in twenty minutes. ;)
I hope you are right. That would be some welcome news indeed.

xxxIndyxxx: already have it, good game, but not the reason why i am here. I like that they expand but if they will only sell games like this is the coming weeks i will be disappointed.... a lot.
I know right, this game has great artistic presentation (ranks up there with Myst or Oddworld for that), but for pete's sake it came out last year.

After all these new titles, I think GOG need to at least give us something on DOS from 1998 or there-bouts, to soothe the other fans.

Great music and atmosphere but I thought the puzzles grated a bit. Never finished it but want to.

Got it DRM free a long time ago, really redundant release.
Relax, when they run out of indie titles they'll go back to releasing old games.

serpantino: No classic game? C'mon GOG pull your finger out, you have a huge backlog to clear as it is and some of us are not interested in purchasing indie games here, especially not ones 2/3rds of us own already. If this is your idea of new and improved, it sucks.



Yes but people don't want to buy and play EVERY old game on GOG and people are waiting for game X to come out so they can buy it... all this does is slows down the arrival of game X.
avatar
Merchito: Right :) I was just being (kindly) ironic on the last phrase of this comment.
No worries. I don't mind this new direction, I just would have preferred them doing it on a separate damn site instead of ramming it down our throats, making GOG a mess and taking away it's meaning. Indie games have been really poorly implemented into the site and I miss the 2 tier pricing....

Well said. Besides, Machinarium is a downright excellent adventure oozing with charm, a great addition to GOG's catalogue.
What's with the sense of entitlement some people have here?

I'll tell you what. I tried being reasonable. I didn't like it.

Merchito: When GOG told us about releasing newer games, I was not against the idea because I believed it was going to be an addition, not a substitution. I expected Good Old Games were to still be released on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while newer products were to be released another day of the week.
But now that it's obviously a substitution to classics... meh...
I am disgusted by people like you moaning about GOG "abandoning its fanbase", "selling out", "forgetting what they are about" and so on, 2 days after it's relaunched.

Machinarium along with games such as Braid, Cave Story, Limbo, Super Meat Boy and World Of Goo are the next generation of classics. They absolutely belong on GOG.
