Love the Machine

A lone Clergytech bestowed with limited blessing by the MACHINE and thrown into the unknown reaches of the Superstructure to perform sacred rituals of maintenance.

Small game with five puzzles. Locate broken machines, fix them, collect broken bits, repurpose bits for upgrades and final stabilization in the Sacred Terminal. When machine is broken the structural integrity diminishes, so don't let everything fall apart, fix everything quickly and stabilize the level.

Screenshots




Controls:
Mouse.
WASD movement.
Left click to interact with the machines.

There is only one level now.

post-jam fix#1:
- Fixed typos and leftover text
- Replaced temporary art
- Added terminal with upgrades
- Added final VN scene
- Adjust difficulty
- Lots, LOTS of minor game-breaking bugs found

Plans to do (maybe):
1. Add level 2 and level 3 with proper story
2. Add more puzzles
3. Add difficulty levels to existing puzzles
4. Introduce other upgrades on levels 2 and 3.

That's really cool! I can almost say that this is Among Us, but singleplayer version with tasks only! 😄 Those tasks are quite self-explanatory (almost, after trial and error on the task with a battery I understand how to fix it).

About audio, from what I hear in background, the character is working in a nuclear reactor or something? Because the specific radiation sound is present in your game...

But I like your simple idea, good job!
