Machinarium - A Tasty Gaming Treat
,----[ Quote ]
| As the game opens you find yourself broken
| and discarded in the dump outside the city
| wall. Your first task is to reassemble
| yourself. Once that is accomplished, you can
| begin your quest to return to the city and
| your girlfriend. Your adventure unfolds as
| you solve puzzle-like problems in order to
| progress. For example, how do you trick the
| guard to lower the drawbridge? Or how might
| you enter a tunnel that remains sealed
| except for the few seconds when a train cart
| passes?
