About the Game

a Restless wanderer

The City of Machines wanders restless through the barren wastes. Here, everything is machines; even the inhabitants. Ever onward, the City chases Optimum: the last, fleeting oasis of time left in the world.


However, A New Threat Looms On the Horizon.

a Mechanical Puzzle Adventure

Mechanical Sunset is a mechanical puzzle adventure. In the game, the player will get the chance to explore The Wandering City of Machines; a place its robotic inhabitants have made home. This is a bizarre place where the warm, inviting lights of a cabin mingles with heavy machinery, cascades of sparks, and forests of wire and pipe.




On their way through the metal jungle, the player will have to learn to operate the aging machinery; buttons, levers, gauges and lights guide you as you awaken the slumbering leviathan.

Features

  • Navigate through the bizarre and unfamiliar world of the Walking City of Machines, where
    mechanical meets countryside comfort.
  • Encounter obstacles that must be overcome by learning to operate large and unfamiliar machinery.
  • Learn to interpret what the machines are telling you by reading indicator lights and gauges;
    connected to accurately physics-simulated components.
  • Manipulate the world around you using old, analogue control panels. Satisfying buttons and
    chunky levers are your means to get the old machines running again.
    • Careful: the inattentive player may end up breaking the machinery and have to rely on
      alternative solutions to get what/where they want.
  • Talk to the interesting robotic lifeforms around the City.
    • Discover their Wishes, Dreams, and Ideals.
    • Help them With their Tasks – Or Don’t.
    • Ask them for help with puzzles that you can’t crack on your own.
  • Discover the truth behind the temporal apocalypse.
    • Time is freezing, and it is up to the player to figure out why, and how to stop it.
