Automaton: Reinvented
Back in 2007, LittleNorwegians made a point-and-click game about a somewhat sad little robot called the Automaton. It was meant to be the beginning of an epic steampunk saga, but in the real world, overreaching ambition and lack of sponsorship caused things to break down for the developer and he was never able to complete the series as he wished. He has now released Automaton: Reinvented, a short but sweet little game demonstrating all the work he put into the idea. While it's weak on plot, on the short side, and lacks a real ending, it does provide a few decent puzzles and the short 3D animation sequences of the diving-helmeted hero are pretty cool in a retro sort of way. The developer doesn't have any plans to continue at this point, but maybe someday he'll return to the game-making world. In the meantime, enjoy one last dip into the Spanish flu and torpedo infested waters.
