Submachine series

Type	Game series

The Submachine series (aka "Submerged Machine") is a series of point-and-click adventure games, created by Mateusz Skutnik, and first released in September 2005.^[1]

In all the games you play as an unidentified protagonist who awakes, seemingly after having some sort of amnesia, in various unknown locations and have to solve different puzzles and examine the environment in order to escape. The series has been generally well reviewed. There are so far ten installations in the main series as well as four spin-offs, and one exploration. Two of the spin-offs were made for a Jayisgames contest, and the other was originally made for the website of the band Future Loop Foundation. It was then later remade to contain only Submachine-related material.

In an interview with Igor Hardy, Mateusz Skutnik stated that "This series should go at least until Submachine 10. After that I dont know."^[2] This was also stated in the final secret in the super secret bonus section of Submachine 7: The Core^[3], and the PastelStories FAQ-page in Facebook^[4]. There are now known to be ten total games in the main storyline with possibly more side games in the future.

In July 2015 Mateusz Skutnik announced a new standalone Submachine game, "Submachine: the Engine" as an upcoming goal on his Patreon page. It has since been removed from the Patreon page.
