I can't stress enough how much these games mean to me. They were the flash games I'd always play on the computer in elementary school. I remember getting stumped by the puzzles so many times but still I'd perservere, taking in the ambience and aesthetic. Both of which I love to death; I try to incorporate the same weird, lonely vibe into some of my creative work. Of course, now I've replayed every chapter so many times that I can effectively do them on autopilot; it's a great way to de-stress. Overall, Submachine is an experience, a treat for the senses that you won't soon forget.

Incredible puzzles, spooky music, intriguing lore. It was super satisfying to solve the ultimate puzzle with everything coming together, even if there's so much to have to think about at the same time ! Notes on what is needed where are very useful to make.
