nice game
Very nice game although it feels it could have a bigger potential - longer gameplay for example despite the "missed opportunity", i still liked it

Whispers of a Machine
Description
Whispers of a Machine is a Sci-Fi Nordic Noir that tells the story of Vera, a cybernetically augmented special agent tasked with investigating a string of murders. These brutal killings obscure a sinister truth, as Vera soon finds ties to a group of fanatics committed to creating an AI superintelligence — a pursuit outlawed for nearly a century.
Complicating things, a great loss from Vera's past comes back to haunt her, making her question her own sanity and everything she stands for.
As an agent of the Central Bureau, Vera is equipped with an advanced nano-substance called Blue. This rare and sought-after technology allows her to develop superhuman abilities adapted to her psychological mindset.
Choose your playstyle and utilize these augmentations to investigate, gather information, and solve puzzles with multiple solutions.
Will Vera’s unique blend of skills and intuition be enough to solve the case, or will she discover that things are more ambiguous than they seemed? In this emotionally gripping story with existential twists and multiple endings, Vera's actions will have monumental consequences not only for herself, but for all of humanity...

7/10
Whispers of a Machine is a smart point-and-click that elevates its spotty lore with a great script and an excellent, if underused, augmentation system.

70/100
Whispers of a Machine is like a good episode of your favorite police procedural: familiar and fun, no more and no less.

78/100
It’s short, sweet, and although there is the promise for more, is ultimately rewarding.

Ok but way under wadjet eye standards
Story has been seen many times so no surprise there, plot twist is foreseen so much in advance. You're left with an ok adventure game with it's good moments but with tedious puzzles with some unecessary back and forth. Path system is kind of unecessary as you won't play the game again to try the other powers. Wadjet eye production are much better so it's a fine little game to help you wait their next game.

Nope
Did not even make beyond locker room. Part of enjoying P&C adventure games is for graphics, immersive atmosphere, character. Surroundings were simplistic renderings. The constant multiple choice and mechanics of using scanners and tabs, and notebook and flipping pages just to talk, are all detracting and cumbersome. Is worse than just "one point and click" for info and move things along. Didn't expect will get better as game went along. Get stars bc am sure everyone worked hard to make the game.

What I hate most in an adventure game...
... is when I can't go on, even while following a walkthrough. I mean : Day 3 (about 3/4 of the game) I have to find a quote from the favourite book of a guy whose I have the DNA signature. I go to this guy's room, the are some books. Whatever I do, when clicking the book, the game keeps tell me "mostly history books and some fictional novels" and just keeps those books in place. Hey ! I scan those books with the DNA signature of this guy ! I have to find what book is his favourite one ! So I desperately search the Internet for a walkthrough, and find one. At this point of the game, I'm supposed to go to this guy's room and check the books. That's EXACTLY what I do ! and that doesn't work ! One star, since I can't give it less.
