Games Centered Around Devices/Machines - an IFDB Poll
by Amanda Walker
RSS FeedI'm looking for games that heavily feature learning how to use a device or machine. For instance, the machine in Emily Short's Savoir-Faire, Art DiBianca's devices in the Grandma Bethlinda games, or the box in Paul Michael Winters's The Box. I love graphical games like the The Room and The House of da Vinci, and want more IF that features fooling with fun devices.
