Seventeen years later, Josef is on the move again.Check out the trailer here.Check out the game here.Some stories end. Others are waiting to return. In 2009, Josef the robot was thrown onto a scrapheap and found his way back into the city to save his girlfriend Berta. Now, they are searching for a new home. Where the road leads, and who they might meet along the way… you’ll find out soon.
The Machinarium Team is Back Together 🦾 The same people who brought you Machinarium and Samorost 3 have dusted off their toolboxes: 🔧 Jakub Dvorský returns as the Game Director 🎨 Adolf Lachman is creating handcrafted backgrounds and characters 🌀 Václav Blín is bringing it all to life with his charming animations 🎵 Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex is composing the soundtrack The team is bigger, more experienced, but still full of love for the world of Machinarium.
About the game:
A Better Future After escaping the city of Machinarium, Josef and Berta crash-land in the barrens. Climbing down a nearby cliff, they discover a lush hidden valley, home to two peculiar robot tribes. One lives in a monastery high on the rocks, the other in a city down below, and both are slowly running short of power.
Side by Side This time around, you'll guide both Josef and Berta, switching between them freely and using their unique abilities to crack all sorts of puzzles neither could solve alone. Just like before, you'll communicate with the robots you meet through animated thought bubbles, symbols, and gestures. Not a single line of text to read!
Pick up a gamepad and you move the two little robots directly, no cursor between you and them. We think it's the best way to play Machinarium 2. Of course, the mouse still works perfectly too, if you want that classic adventure feel.
Hand-Drawn and Alive Every rusted pipe, weathered wall, and towering structure in Machinarium 2 is entirely hand-drawn, brought to life stroke by stroke, in a style that borrows from old master drawings and Renaissance landscape paintings.
The robots living here get the same care, all richly animated and full of expression, bringing something unexpectedly human to a world of rusted machines.
Tomáš Dvořák Returns Listeners of the Machinarium soundtrack will recognize the roots of this new work by Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex, but the music has clearly grown up. The signature robot universe and acoustic textures remain, now elevated by symphonic arrangements sometimes with a touch of Renaissance flavor.
One player, two robots. Switch between Josef and Berta at any time
A whole new world. Explore the Elektrona monastery, the city of Oilton and their surroundings
Wordless storytelling. Communicate through gestures and symbols
All hand-drawn. Inspired by Renaissance landscape paintings
Gamepad or mouse. Both fully supported
Music by Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex. The composer of the original Machinarium returns
Happy Happy Gaming!
Don't feed the Trolls
