Mother Machine

Set thousands of years in the future, Mother Machine takes place on a distant planet once colonized by humans but since abandoned. Left behind by her creators, an Artificial Intelligence faced a problem: without a purpose, she needed to find a way to protect her digital mind from breaking under the burden of being forever alone. Her solution was to create a creature that she could take care of. True rascals with an affinity for mischief and chaos, these little gremlins were bioengineered by their mother to withstand and survive a harsh alien environment. 3D-printed from the organic filament by their godlike Mother Machine, these creatures are tasked to collect and explore a vast cave network of a mysterious alien planet, brimming with biodiversity and peculiar life forms — but the further the gremlins venture, the more they find out about the dark secrets of the planet's history and the true ambitions of their mechanical mother.

  • Control a colorful chaos gremlin capable of seamlessly running, climbing, and leaping through intricate procedurally-designed alien caves, where no one playthrough is the same.
  • Extend and deepen the active abilities of their gremlins with a vast range of mutations, altering gameplay to suit their preferred playstyle and desired difficulty.
  • Join games at any time with easy drop-in multiplayer for up to four players, increasing the levels of both chaos and competition.
  • Share the experience with friends of all skill levels, as the game's balanced co-op mechanics allow expert players to join together with novices, making the mania more accessible.
  • Enjoy a silly, soulful world and an engaging narrative about the limits of technology, the nature of loneliness & the power of family.
  • Experience unique and personal moments created by emergent gameplay, endlessly replayable generative levels & satisfying progression.
