Whispers of a Machine

Very good point-and-click adventure game

TL;DR : If you like point-and-clicks, this is a no-brainer add to your library. It took me about 8ish hours to finish my first playthrough of this game. Gameplay wise I thought the puzzles were slightly on the easy side but not in a bad way, more in a "the puzzle makes sense and is not stupid" kind of way. A couple of times I was nearly stumped, but by carefully going over the clues I was able to get to the solution-- those are the moments that make you feel awesome, like a puzzle genius. Even when they weren't quite as challenging, solving the puzzles always felt sensible and satisfying. I thought the cybernetic augmentations mechanic was a cool twist as well, but I wish there were more opportunities to use some of the augments and in more creative ways. On the narrative side of things is where I thought it really shined. The setting, plot, dialogue, characters, and acting were all top notch. It's possible to guess a couple of the plot twists before they happen, but that's actually to the game's credit-- What it really means is that everything is so well written and every character responds to every changing situation so well that by carefully listening to what they say and how they act, you can work out what's going on behind the scenes. That's pretty cool. The setting of the game was also quite unique and compelling-- I really want to explore more of the world that is hinted at in the game. I hear the game really rewards multiple playthroughs, and I noticed a couple times where there were different paths to take. Something to look forward to on my next playthrough!
