Play as a small robot on a journey through a mysterious facility, solving puzzles and avoiding traps with your grabber arm to progress through levels.
Unmechanical is a puzzle platformer video game developed by Talawa Games and released in 2012. In the game, players control a small robot who has awakened in a mysterious underground facility. The goal is to guide the robot through the facility's rooms and corridors, solving puzzles and avoiding traps along the way.
Gameplay in Unmechanical focuses on using the robot's grabber arm to grab, pull, and manipuate objects in the environment. For example, the grabber can be used to pull levers, activate buttons, move blocks, and swing from hooks. Players must assess each room, identify the puzzle elements and how they interact, then use the grabber arm to solve the puzzle. Obstacles like spikes, lasers, and patrolling enemies must also be navigated around.
The facility in Unmechanical features bright, colorful visuals and a range of themed areas, from factories to libraries to computer server rooms. The atmospheric music and absence of dialog gives the game a sense of loneliness and mystery. Across the game's roughly 4 hours of gameplay, new puzzle mechanics and abilities are gradually introduced to keep things interesting.
Unmechanical received positive reviews upon its release, with critics praising the clever puzzles, smooth controls, and appealing atmosphere and visuals. It has since been ported to multiple platforms, including iOS and Android mobile devices. With its imaginative puzzles, likable protagonist, and intriguing wordless story, Unmechanical offers an engaging platforming experience.
