Whispers of a Machine
Whispers of a Machine is a Sci-Fi Nordic Noir that tells the story of Vera, a cybernetically augmented special agent tasked with investigating a string of murders. These brutal killings obscure a sinister truth, as Vera soon finds ties to a group of fanatics committed to creating an AI superintelligence — a pursuit outlawed for nearly a century. Complicating things, a great loss from Vera's past comes back to haunt her, making her question her own sanity and everything she stands for. As an agent of the Central Bureau, Vera is equipped with an advanced nano-substance called Blue. This rare and sought-after technology allows her to develop superhuman abilities adapted to her psychological mindset. Choose your playstyle and utilize these augmentations to investigate, gather information, and solve puzzles with multiple solutions. Will Vera’s unique blend of skills and intuition be enough to solve the case, or will she discover that things are more ambiguous than they seemed? In this emotionally gripping story with existential twists and multiple endings, Vera's actions will have monumental consequences not only for herself, but for all of humanity…

Excellent point'n click, with original gameplay, great story and proposing different paths. Though, the ending felt clearly rush ; the sci-fi universe needed more depth and the auto-save system doesn't allow you to explore the different paths and the ending choices as you wish. You are supposed to play it all again from scratch (and three times if you want all achievements)... which I won't do.

Absolutely amazing game from start to finish. The powers were awesome and not cheesy, perfectly put to use and very creative and inventive. The detective aspect was excellent too. Like a classic point n click adventure there were tons of great cozy environments with hundreds of things to click on and dozens of characters to interact with. Super cozy and the few puzzles were pretty good as well. I only wish there were a map and hint system. Otherwise this game is easily in my Top 20 of all time! Really hoping they make another like it! 10 Stars!

I enjoyed Whispers of a Machine because it does many things right: the story and characters are great, the voice acting is well done and the graphics are beautiful. On the other hand, the puzzles are hit or mis. Some of them are really clever, while others made me roll my eyes when I ended up discovering the solution in a guide. Recommended, but not without a guide.

Whispers of a Machine is a cyberpunk themed investigation adventure game that has great voice acting, great soundtrack, great story and interesting investigation gameplay.
The main downside is that its a fairly short game albeit having 3 paths for replayability (I played the empathy path and I don't think I will be playing the other two paths.)
Great adventure game that I recommend for any fan of the genre.

Fantastic game. My only dislike is the auto-save feature.

Whispers of a Machine is a post-apocalyptic point and click adventure game with a well-crafted story. The puzzles are logical and not too hard. The background music is soothing. The game also has some unique mechanics that help with the investigation and they are very well-designed. I think fans of classic point and click adventure games will enjoy this game.

Neat and interesting setting. I like the cybernetic involved puzzles/clues. Music is good too. While low res, the art is also well done.
