Submachine: the Basement (version 1)

game

Point-and-click fans, this next game has you written all over it. Submachine is a relatively easy game of the escape-the-room variety that will engage your puzzle-solving skills for about 10-15 minutes. And if you haven't played this one already, you're in for a simple treat.
Several rooms hold as many puzzles and items to find for solving the mystery of the Submachine. Use your mouse to point-and-click your way through the game, and to pick up items that you find along the way. Drag and drop an item from your inventory to place it where it's needed.

Crisp and attractive graphics are pleasantly complemented by atmospheric sound and effects to enhance the overall experience. Created by Mateusz Skutnik ("Murtaugh"), Submachine is a straightforward and polished point-and-clicker that is accessible to most anyone.

Some people just play the point'n'click games I post here, some people are nice enough to leave a comment or two to help others, and then again some people, like murtaugh , go that extra mile and write a game of their own, and post that. Most commendable. Submachine has some eerie music, cracking sound effects, and I haven't been able to work out any of the puzzles yet - which means it gets a big thumbs-up from me. Leave your impressions in the comments, I'm sure murtaugh will appreciate any feedback you have.

Also known as the original, or the short version. This version had… 9 rooms. Which is about 1/16 of Submachine6. But those were the early days and who could predict that this series would grow to such extent as we see nowadays. As I checked this version I was really surprized that it was so small, yet there were so many things to do in such space. We can see an inventory on the right side, with static icons of found items. You had to drag them onto stage for some kind of interaction. What a drag. :D.

Fun fact: this version didn’t even have a menu at the beginning, you just went straight to the gameplay after initial Submachine logo. Maybe that’s what caught the imagination of so many…
