✓ Classic point and click adventure with a twistI enjoyed playing this adventure game so much! All of the puzzles were organic and I also loved the augmentation abilities. It really added another layer of gameplay that didn’t deter from the story at all. Good characters, though I really wish we got to see more of the backstory between Vera and Alex. It would have made the decision at the end of the game that much more powerful and conflicting. I would play the sequel if one was released! Thank for making this game. Not many out there with this level of detail. Great graphics as well. It was just enough detail to be beautiful, yet it still had that 90s retro look to it as well. I will always continue to support games like this for the rest of my life..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Really great non woke point and clickA really fun little point and click adventure with great replay ability. The writing was fantastic, it has a really interesting conservative vs progressive ideology narrative and you can choose your own adventure (THANK YOU writers for staying neutral and not forcing us to take the leftist path, very refreshing) Overall highly recommended for point and click fans, the puzzles were just hard enough and I throughly enjoyed playing..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Wow!Simply wow! This is one if the few times I’ve finished a game and actively give back to review it in the App Store without being asked to do it in the game. This game is great!! It has so much deity and subtle (and some obvious) changes when replayed in different ways. The augmentations change based on actions and dialogue responses - and these do change the way (especially in the last day) the character responds to events/feelings. I played through it 3 times just to try the different ways puzzles could be tackled and, from other research online, there are even other augmentation combinations I haven’t tried which give different possibilities. Great storyline, great voice acting, appropriate graphics (like little touches like breaking the police tape when going upstairs to Maja’s apartment for the first time). Most importantly I love the way potentially sticky moral questions/situations are covered so as to not ram (present day liberal lunacy especially) down our throats but we play an active role in deciding what we choose to be our self beliefs but it also gently reminds us of the “road not chosen” if we follow whichever I thought was my characters most important guiding principles. I played through multiple times, under different principles, and each was handled beautifully!! An adventure that will stand the test of time :).Version: 1.0.8
✓ Good from the get go, great till the endAfter playing, I noticed Dave Gilbert’s name in the credits. That would have clued me in that this was going to be a great game and done right. A true traditional mystery point and click. ...and that it was. The augmentations are genius. On top of that, the game plays based on what you do and say, so it plays different ways with different clues and objects for different people and thus different results. You could play again and choose differently. Did I mention the augmentations are genius? You’ll find out what that means. There’s even interactive action scenes with other characters. This game is a bargain and a must play for traditional point and click lovers..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Really enjoying this detective game!Great game, you are a detective but it’s not your typical point and click game. Have not played a game like this yet, unique! I recommend.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Solid point and click, thought provokingThis game is a solid point and click with a good story. Some of the mechanics (when it’s time based) are irritating on mobile just because the ui is so small, it can be hard to click the right spot, so definitely died a few times in those scenes due that. Hah! But, the game was fun and had me thinking about deeper things for sure. The only other bummer is I pegged one of the antagonists from the second I met them; would have liked a bit more of a mystery, but the story is good and well written all the same, even if it was somewhat predictable..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Great game with some novel ideas!This is a clever game that adds some novel ideas that i have not seen before; i have played many such games! Like the design and gameplay, along with the time it takes to complete. If you like this genre, then go for it and you won’t be disappointed..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Please fixYOUR GAME IS AMAZING, it’s so much fun but there is a problem my save file gets corrupted it says there was a script error but then I can’t play my safe file anymore this happens after I leave the recycling center and talk to the kids but after I stop talking and walk away at glitches and crashes when I try to go back and pull it up and it says script error..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great sci-fi noir adventure100% recommend this game. Fantastic graphics. Engrossing plot. Wonderful game mechanics. Excellent voice acting and music. Really continues the fine work they did with Kathy Rain. Two gripes. 1) It’s over too quickly. Wish this was the first case of many. 2) The augmentations are incredibly cool and I want to use them more! But there’s not enough opportunity to take advantage of them throughout the game. I can however kind of accept these minor flaws because I’m about to give it another play through, but this time making different choices, and hopefully opening up some new augs to use. Cheers Cliff Top games, you’ve smashed it out the park..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Awesome adventure gameEasily worth the price, wonderful adventure, long gameplay, and no in app purchases !! Please continue to support the app developers.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Not Optimized for XR.I love Raw Fury and will get whatever they put out. I am, however, disappointed that this game is not optimized to fit the XR’s screen. Also, I’ve noticed this game greatly drains battery (five minutes of gameplay sucked 8% of my battery). I’m hoping this also can be fixed..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Should be at the top of the App Store!I nearly missed this! I loved Cathy rain and check the App Store daily for new games. Every time there’s the same rubbish at the top being pushed in your face and gems like this one get hidden. Sort it out!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great gameFun story, nice mystery, and no encountered bugs or ads. Creative play style and skills too..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Excellent!Not exactly the typical point and click game, as you have some « powers » (tech augmentations) and you absolutely need them to resolve some of the enigmas. Some puzzles were kind of hard, as I didn't always think to use them, since it's not a classic point and click game. If you're stuck, that's probably because you didn't think of using one of them on something. I would have prefered to have a « hint » option (I had to watch a walkthrough at least 7 or 8 times). But overall, a really good game!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Fantastic Point & Click Detective Game!Just finished this game - highly recommended! Not many point and click adventure games that are 17+. This one has great story, superb voice acting, and good music. Some parts are challenging, but there are enough subtle hints to get you to the next step if you pay attention. I wish the game was much longer because I didn’t want it to end! My only complaint is that the game should save at the end before you get to make a decision so you can reload from there. Would love a sequel with Vera!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Intriguing Plot and Creative gameplayWhispers of a Machine is perhaps one of the best adventure games I have played in a while. The gameplay is creative in the way that the decisions alter Vera’s augmentations. Yes, the graphics may look “pixelated,” but they appear beautifully hand drawn in my opinion. Kathy Rain was a good game too. Please release more games like this, or even subscriptions/episodes..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Branching powers system is really novel!Greatly enjoyed this game and story. It’s a bit tough at times, but that’s a benefit more than it is a detriment..Version: 1.0.3
✓ An incredible point and clickIf you are interested in point and click games, this is an absolutely wonderful gem. Just realized it’s the same people who made Kathy Rain (also another epic point and click). Voice acting is spot-on and really immerses you in the game. Story is intriguing. “augmentation” system is nifty. Puzzles not overly difficult to figure out. It’s insane to me that more people haven’t rated/played this game. Worth every penny, I would’ve payed $10 and been happy. Jason.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Great adventureGreat adventure.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fabulous point and click adventure!I am constantly searching the AppStore for actual point and click adventure games, not the hidden object and arcade games bizarrely classified as “adventure.” This discovery was so spectacular that I stayed up all night to finish it! The concept that distinguishes Whisper of the Machines from typical adventure games is that there are multiple solutions for the integrated puzzles and ultimately completing the game, guided by your responses to a choice-based narrative and the specific supplementary skills that you acquire. Your heroine is a homicide detective with chemical-based “augmentation technology” that gives her superhuman capabilities. “Smart scanning” helps you search for and analyze clues in the scene, like DNA. [NOTE: This is NOT a hidden object game!] You can greatly increase your strength for short periods of time, and you can monitor physiological functions of your witnesses to determine if they are lying. The additional abilities you receive are determined by whether your conversational responses skew towards assertive, analytical, or empathetic. Your role as an investigator definitely draws you into the story, which is richly written and based in a world that survived and rebuilt after an apocalyptic event. Graphics have a retro feel but are not pure pixel. The controls are intuitive and smooth. Gameplay is essentially linear and lasts about 5-6 hours. The somewhat short duration of the game and the absence of a teleportation map/device are my minor complaints. If you’re a fan of the same genre, here are my favorites that have been ported to the iPad (in no particular order): - Edna & Harvey series - Broken Sword series - Yesterday series - Enigmatis series - Broken Age - Lost Within - Runaway series - Bik: A Space Adventure - Journey Down series - Cognition series - Syberia series - Hollywood Monsters - In Fear I Trust - Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders - Bertram Fiddle series - Blackwell series - Fran Bow series - Life Is Strange - Return To Grisly Manor - Miss Fisher series - Day of the Tentacle - Deponia - Fetch: A Boy and His Dog - The Whispered Word - Nelly Cootalot and the Fowl Fleet - New York Mysteries series - Paranormal State: Poison Spring - Secret Files series - The Wolf Among Us - Lost Horizon series - Last Express - Gemini Rue - Beneath the Steel Sky - Silent Age.Version: 1.0.6
✓ DopeThis was dope and fun. Kinda short for my taste but I loved it.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Stand outThere were multiple elements to this game that has it standing out from the rest. I thoroughly enjoyed the game however I was a little disappointed with certain elements (not enough to reduce the stars as it is definitely a quality game). For example, the different augs were a lot of fun although I felt they weren’t utilised enough. The scanner I thought would have been used more often and there seemed to be a constant build up of locations/characters with nothing eventuating from those interactions. The inventory wasn’t used enough either. I felt day 3-4 seemed rushed and ended so quickly. I was left wanting more however in its entirety I loved every moment of playing this game!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Short but satisfying!A wonderful point and click adventure with some interesting mechanics, smart puzzles and great characterization. I never once needed a walkthrough which is always a good sign; the puzzles are logical and the game nudges you subtly in the right direction with regards to your investigation. I rarely ended up trying random things to progress. The story is mostly a standard sci-fi dystopia affair but the voice acting and characters make up for it. The pixel art is nice and the soundtrack is great. It is quite short, even for the genre, and despite some wrinkles in how the game can progress, and play out, you probably won’t go back to see the differences once you know the core mystery. Anyway it was well worth the money and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it!.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Brilliant!We need more games like this, good story driven adventure. You have choices on how to play the game, you don’t die every five minutes, graphics are great, puzzles interesting. Loved it..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Best everPlease can we have a sequel. This was so thought out and a step up from the normal point and click adventure games out there..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Engaging story, average puzzlesYet another fantastic modern point-and-click along the lines of Wadjet Eye Games. The story is suspenseful and fast-paced, never boring. The characters and world are unique. The moments of humor are welcome in a serious situation. My only complaint is that a few of the puzzles are laughably absurd, but a quick walkthrough visit fixed everything..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Brilliant game and engaging storyI beta tested the game. And have it on steam but also bought it here. The story had me hooked with in the first few minutes. I highly recommend the game.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Awesome! Love different endings and choices change thingsGreat job! No flaws I could see. A map would have helped. A few things I wanted to ask I couldn’t cuz it wasn’t in the book. One the best of these types of games I’ve played for awhile..Version: 1.0.8
✓ AmazingAt the top of what p&c games are all about! You should definitely play it and multiple times to see the different game play styles/choices..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Gem of a new adventure game on iOSI’m an old school point and click adventure game fan, and though I’m happy to see classics like Broken Sword and Day of the Tentacle ported over to iOS, they honestly just don’t play as well as they do on the PC. Moving around is a pain, choosing actions is a pain. Whispers surprised me by remaining point and click but streamlining the gaming process beautifully so that you’re actually focused on the game and not how cumbersome it is to play. Which is great, because it’s an engrossing game. Investigating as Vera is a lot of fun, and it does feel like an investigation rather than a spooky thriller, which a lot of detective games try to be. I want to solve mysteries, not tiptoe around fearfully. I just wish the empathetic options (you gain different abilities depending on your responses to people, which gives you completely different ways to solve puzzles) weren’t quite so...sappy. There’s a point where you try to determine what a piece of graffiti depicts, and the empathetic option is “two flowers hugging”. You can be a good people person without stepping right out of Sesame Street, y’know. In any case, definitely worth the purchase!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Love!I loved this game! It’s one of the few point and click games that have a good story line, harder to find objects, and is long. The only thing I wish it was is a tad bit longer! It reminds me of a traditional video game you’d buy on steam or a console, and I loved that it had that capability..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Worked on iPad. Hybrid of Technobabylon + PrimordiaThis game worked great on my iPad (fridge worked in new ver). After playing Technobabylon, Primordia, and Shardlight, I was looking for other old school scifi games. This is different style than a Wadjet Eye game but you’ll like this if you like them! This one is a hidden gem (bugfixed version), also on Steam but I wanted to play in my hammock on my iPad. Enjoy if you love old school scifi click games. TIP1: Dialogs will speed up if you tap, even mid-fade. TIP2: Double-tap an exit to warp quickly between screens, no need to walk the whole screen-width EDIT: Yes, the fridge door worked. (But you must tap on the nervous heartbeat of the two kids first).Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great game! Totally worth every pennyThis is a great game! You won’t regret buying it - the voice acting alone makes it worth the price!! It is very fun and you won’t want to stop playing to see what happens next !!! Couldn’t be happier I believe I’m about half way through that’s the only bad part cuz I don’t want it to end lol.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Original and ambitious but too difficultPros: - interesting story with ambitious back-story - cool mix of features to play with as the main character - fun characters to interact with Cons: - some parts are too difficult. I play lots of similar games and this is the first time I had to check the solution online multiple times. And the solutions would have been too complex to figure out. Hints or more balanced difficulty throughout the game would help a lot - some controls are annoying to deal with even on a big iPhone Overall I would recommend it but be prepared to check for some solutions online. I will definitely check out the next games from the team..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Amazing workWhispers of a machine and Kathy rain are the best cell phone games I’ve ever played . Not only are they fun & challenging . The stories are compelling as well as the characters !.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Brilliant!Up there as one of the best games I’ve ever played. Compelling and really makes you think - especially if you try to play all the way through three times following a different one of the three personality traits each time like I did. Superb. Hopefully the guys will do another game very soon!.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Brilliant GameI’ve really enjoyed playing this, it could have gone so many ways. I think it would have been near perfect with a few more actual puzzles and I think the ending didn’t take advantage of all the details that they’d introduced along the way. I did stumble across a bug in Stina’s house where one of the items was labelled “DUMMY_07” or something similar and there was nothing there..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good game, few bugsI really liked the storyline of this game, it is very compelling. I did really like the fact that tools you receive throughout the game are based on your choices. I also enjoyed the tools that you do get in the game. For instance, the scanning tool is a very cool concept. Overall it was a great game. Although I had an overall positive experience with this game, I do have a few critiques. I did have a game save issue one time. I had closed the game out once, and when I came back I had lost progress. Also, the controls of the inventory are annoying on an iPhone bc when you try to drag them to interact, the phone backs out of the game to where you can view the current app and all other apps that are open. So you have to tap the game after almost every time you try to drag an inventory item. That is very annoying. I also am not a fan of repeating dialogue or pixel graphics (lower quality graphics) I’ve become spoiled to higher quality graphics with other P&C adventure games I’ve played. If you can get past the things I’ve mentioned, then this is a great game..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Love,love,loveTerrific, if you love the dark mature detective feel of Kathy rain ..try this. Fabulous Scandinavian crime story theme..Version: 1.0.8
✓ A RarityThis game is excellent. I was immediately swept up into the story and spent a lot of time guessing who the killer was only to be surprised in the end. I played the main character pretty even keeled, but the options are there to play differently. I wish there were more games like this. Very fun and entertaining. About 3-5 days of gameplay depending on your free time..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Yes!!!!Brilliant game, had so much fun with it...just wish it didn’t have to end! Can’t wait for future installments..Version: 1.0.3
✓ My favourite point and click for yearsI’ve been playing point and click games since the early 90s. I’m always looking for the next big thing, and although this has been out for a while, this is it. A dystopian future of AI meets human adventure bundled into this wonderfully good game. A familiar and easy to use set of controls where I was never frustrated. Most of the puzzles aren’t overly frustrating and there are different possibilities to several routes which lead to many different scenarios and ways of completing this game. The dialogue is very good, and never boring and too much of it. It tells an excellent story which leaves you wanting more. But not in a disappointing way, even when the game finishes. I’d like to see a sequel one day, but until then I’ll have sift through the rest on the App Store until I find one to match or better this one. Great stuff, hope you make more like this! Cheers! I struggled to justify the price at first.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Don’t rate a good game 1 star cause your stuckHow is that the games fault? It’s supposed to be a puzzle to figure out on your own - it’s s point n click, it’s always been this way. And I have the energize power too and I was able to get past the part your talking about. I’d help you out, but rating a game a bad score because you can’t figure out a puzzle that is meant to challenge you is irrational. So I guess you’ll have to figure it out yourself..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fantastic game, horribly optimizedThis game is phenomenal. The story is well written and isn’t obvious. The abilities add a special uniqueness to give you multiple play throughs without being too repetitive. The graphics are clean. It plays excellent on an iPhone 12. My only complaint is that it’s not a well optimized port: the game runs fine but it eats into your battery life like crazy. It’s be great if that could be addressed (and I tried playing on the lowest graphic setting). If you like point and click adventure games, mysteries, and a hint of sci fi, then definitely give this a shot..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Love your gamesFirst off, thank you for releasing your games on iOS!!! I prefer playing on my iPad to laptop these days. I bought both Kathy Rain and this game and binged on both. I love the art styles of the games and the gameplay. To other lurkers, if you like solving mysteries, these point and click games are worth your while!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Great game worth the $I really enjoyed this game. It’s pretty long and challenging without being too hard. The storyline was very interesting and the music was cool..Version: 1.0.5
✓ WonderfulOne of the best adventure games on iOS - on a level footing with Wadjet Eye’s games, and with a similar feel..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Keeps Crashing (iPad Mini 6th Gen)This game really is PHENOMENAL! Only reason for my 4 ⭐️ My iPad mini 6th Gen (2021 Model) is up to date with iPad OS 16.5 This game is constantly crashing, it’s a spontaneous bug - I can’t track it, so I can replicate it, but here is what I have identified: • Crashes as soon as I continue a saved game or start new game • Crashes if I play (a saved game or new game) within 10 minutes • Crashes if I play (a saved game or new game) within 2 minutes • Crashes if I play (a saved game or new game) an hour later or so • During first crime scene, after you scan the victim with smart mode, as soon as you tap the scan tool with the victim’s bio (the scan tool called Karl) the game will crash A very sporadic bug. I know it’s 2023 and this game was released awhile ago, but PLEASE FIX. This issue ruins what I would describe an immersive *experience* of being a future detective. APPLES -> VISION PRO: I actually want to play this game on my vision pro when it buy it, the Vision Pro has eye tracking (i use my eyes to make selections) and finger pinching gestures (my forefinger and thumb touch each other) and this is how we interact with apps - this game will be right at home. HERE ARE MY TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS: - Rebooted my iPad - Closed out the game, then relaunched game - Uninstalled game & Reinstalled the game - Powered down iPad and turned back on iPad.Version: 1.1.5
✓ WOWWhat a game! I enjoyed this during my Quarantined life now killed time & fun. Pretty Hard and challenging but that made it worth it I want a 2nd part.Version: 1.0.9
✓ More games like this neededA great story driven game. Personally, I found the ending a bit too easy to see coming; but I finished it, had to - which is saying a lot as I don’t bother to finish most games I start now. The story moves forward by acting on new information you have learned, or investigating obtained evidence. No random puzzle nonsense. How to move forward being reasonably implied and communicated by events - rather than their being disjointed and ‘try everything’ scenarios. I’ve only played it once so not sure if (or how much) the augs you get based on your dialogue choices affect how you go about progressing with the case. Or what happens for that matter. Although I’m uncertain you can get different augs? I’ll probably try Kathy Rain (or any others <ahem>) prior to replaying to find out though. Worth it..Version: 1.0.2
✓ A Classic point and click adventure game, superb!I really enjoyed this game, very immersive. It also has replay value. I usually don’t replay a game but this, will be my exception. Everything is top notch about this game. It has a great story and seems to me this game was made with care and attention to all details. Good job!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Recommended!Delivers an interesting Nordic setting. The lead is likeable, and some you can root for. The investigations are fun and the augmentations adds to that. A tighter story than Kathy Rain with well written dialogue and great voice acting..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Mostly excellentVery enjoyable and interesting. On the plus side it was so thoughtful and a fresh experience. On the other hand I couldn't help but think that it could have been better if they didn't do the branching. Just gave it be one longer game? I didn't really see the point is the versions of same game. I played through twice and found second time was just zipping through it. I saw two endings and found a third slightly different one on-line. I am ok with that part it's more the playing through with different abilities that I found to be more of an experiment than a good mechanism..Version: 1.0.5
