Set in a post-AI futuristic dystopia, Whispers of a Machine presented a murder mystery to solve as Vera, a cybernetically augmented special agent. Humanity versus AI is more relevant than ever these days, so I enjoyed the topics it brought up, even if some threads were never truly resolved. There were options on how to go about the investigation and approach situations, the three paths relating to being empathetic, analytical, or assertive, each having their own abilities to use during puzzles and dialogue.

I liked Vera as a character, the sort of no-nonsense woman that had a subtle sense of humour. Even though it differed from Kathy Rain (Clifftop Games' other title), I still found it to have its own strengths.
