The first early Christmas present has arrived - the new game by Mateusz Skutnik is here!
After the last Submachine (it's been TWO years since the release) we didn't hear from the creator much. We got traditional Where is 2016? and Where is 2017? and that's all. Until now!
The new game is not a long one, but it has everything - beautiful art, good music, quality puzzles and mystery behind the game. It's also reminder of older games like Covert Front, you can almost feel Kara's presence!
The room you are locked in seems like inventor's room - not very tidy, scraps of paper on the floor, stacks of books, coffee mugs - and strange devices around. Click-clack, you can play around with levers, switches and valves on pipes and if you get that big device to work, maybe they hire you...because this is not a game, this is a recruitment process!
The game is download only and it's a pleasure to play it in full screen - much better experience than playing in small window - and Mateusz Skutnik's art deserves good presentation! Also, you get lovely icon on your PC screen!
Enjoy!

Very nice! Quite short, but I'm expecting good things out of this one. :)
I do wish that I could deselect full screen mode BEFORE I start a game though.
It's my first time hearing of Mateusz Skutnik's Itch page. The amount of stuff available as standalone downloads is incredible!

Good work! Thanks!

What!? The Flash games were made with vectors. They could be resized indefinitely without ever loosing quality or requiring 50MB of file size like this game does. You could right click and choose zoom in to confirm that, and appreciate the very little details. It was just the authors fault for locking the SWF dimensions in place instead of letting the game grow with the window. Now with the new platform, the graphics are slightly blurry instead. It's a DOWNGRADE!
Look at the old graphics from Covert Front 4:

How do the new blurry graphics beat THAT?
The Phenomenon, I just played through the game on a 3000x2000 display without a single blur in sight. I'm not sure he's not using vector, as GameMaker does have limited vector support. Perhaps GameMaker isn't playing well with your graphics card.
Also, playing windowed was a purposeful limitation of his previous games, as you could pay to purchase the full screen versions.
Here's the opening from this game running on my system, which should be spoiler-free for anyone interested:

Rather short but still just as enjoyable regardless! I love that it's themed around Covert Front! I wonder if we'll ever see more games related to that story? I loved them so much.
Interesting. Several items are completely optional, namely the:
