I picked this game up on impulse and it has simply blown me away. Fans of Beneath a Steel Sky will feel right at home in this beautiful, cyber-dystopian detective adventure. Nearly every gripe I've had with point & click adventures of the past have been addressed and amended. For example, by holding the space bar, you can see every clickable object - eliminating the frustration of simply not know all of your options when solving a problem. The story is gripping, puzzles rewarding, characters interesting, soundtrack beautiful, and the augmentations with differing abilities based on your play style are the icing on the cake. I cannot recommend this game enough. It is well deserving of a seat near the all time greats like Broken Sword and Flight of the Amazon Queen. Whispers of a Machine sets the new gameplay standard for point & click adventures from here on out.
