A real charming one.
Might get repetitive at times, the structure usually goes advance section→ obstacle→ press buttons; and a lot of mechanics come off as under-utilized or not put under enough pressure. But it's a whole feeling it manages to capture. The machine is genius in design, a whole character in itself that becomes an extention of you by the end, this game manages to really convey the appeal of clunky machinery.
Art direction and sound also go above and beyond, music greately adding to each moment with environmental storytelling that really has you intrigued.
At the end the solitude is palpable, but a sound in the distance.
