Some games transcend time much more easily than others, and Machinarium is certainly one of them. If you're experiencing its charms for the first time, read on for my full Machinarium walkthrough.
Machinarium Walkthrough – Part 1
This is part one of my full walkthrough. If you are specifically looking for something that happens later in the game, follow these links:
In general, talk to all the robots you come across. They all want something and will help you out, so these hints are always useful. Also, pay attention to any cutscenes that occur when you arrive at a new screen, as these often give you hints on what to expect or how to proceed. Finally, I recommend saving when you reach a new scene. I’ve found that several puzzles can become buggy if you try to reset them, meaning you have to reload an old game to continue. This is very frustrating if you have to retread old ground.
As stated in the tutorial text, click on the tub to remove it and reveal your robot's body. Double-click on your body and it will bounce down to the floor next to your head. Click on the head and it will attach itself to your body. Now we're in business.
