About the Game

Ingenious Mechanisms & Brain-Burning Challenges

Ornate Machina: The Thousand Trials is a box-pushing puzzle game with rich and varied mechanics. Beyond classic Sokoban-style gameplay, you'll face five distinct types of contraptions. Observe carefully, learn how each works, roll carts up steep slopes, and even use sound to locate hidden platforms—only through exploration and clever thinking will you find the way forward!

Rich and Varied Level Design

The game features 4 chapters and 20 hand-crafted levels (with more to come!). To complete each chapter, you must understand the mechanics it introduces. Want to achieve the fewest steps? That will take deep thought and flexible strategy.

A Unique Visual Style

A fresh blend of traditional Chinese aesthetics and pixel art delivers a visually novel experience. Lighthearted characters, layered level design, and a distinct soundtrack combine to create a uniquely artistic atmosphere.

If you manage to beat a level in fewer steps—share your brilliance with us!
