About Mechanism
Mechanism is an adventure game about a lone robot in a steampunk world infected by a disease called Phlegm. The robot wakes to find the world changed: black tumors called Flegma have spread, causing the deaths of countless robots. What happens to the world depends on your choices.
Explore the world
You explore locations that change based on your actions, search for secrets and piece together what happened. The game tells its story visually, with a meta-narrative hidden within the main story.
Solve puzzles
You solve riddles using objects you find, while avoiding Flegma, which can harm robots as well as organic beings. The mechanics are based on the character’s contamination level. The game also raises the possibility that its story is not really about robots and disease.
