Kelvin and the Infamous Machine is a hilarious point-and-click adventure in which you stumble irresponsibly through history to help legendary geniuses complete their masterworks!

I really enjoyed it and wish it was about twice as long. Works well on deck.
Мне не понравилось. Глупые, пустые диалоги, плоский юмор, раздражающие персонажи, те самые абсурдные загадки, которые приходится решать применением одних рандомных штук к другим рандомных штукам, и самоирония разработчиков на эту тему ничуть не улучшает ситуации. Может быть, если бы игра не была такой долгой, впечатление было бы лучше, с другой стороны, она и так всего 4 часа длится, так что возможно её специально растягивали, чтобы перешагнуть 2-часовой порог.
Рисовка хорошая, озвучка замечательная, из плюсов, пожалуй, всё.
Good point and click puzzle game in the spirit of older point and click classics. The voice acting is entertaining, especially the guy who plays "The Shuffler", and the gags are fun. I audibly laughed out loud numerous times, or at least gave an earnestly loud snort. The puzzles are fair, and the story is a fun little journey to meet irl geniuses in a fictional setting and you as the protagonist gives them the nudge they need to overcome "writers block" so to speak on their groundbreaking invention, but get caught up in having to go through silly antics and hoops to do so (the puzzles). Overall for the price tag I'd say it's worth it. I actually wish they made it twice as long and charged like 19.99 or something because I was enjoying it and was sad for the game to end.
This is one of the best point-and-click games I've played in a while. It has a fun and silly artstyle, some challenging (but not impossible) puzzles, witty writing and terrific voice-acting. I definitely recommend this if you need a pick-me-up.
Es hat super viel Spaß gemacht das Spiel zu spielen. Es ist wunderbar gezeichnet und die Atmosphäre sowie die Musik dazu sind hervorragend. Der Humor ist auch super. Ich musste viele male Lachen. Genau wie in den guten alten Monkey Island Zeiten. Wer bock auf Geschichte und Rätseln mit Humor hat. Ist hier sehr gut beraten. Das Spiel dauert ca. 5 Stunden. Reicht aber auch, da es viele knifflige Rätsel gibt bei denen ich auch mal geschmult habe aber es letztendlich mit ein bisschen Nachdenken auch von selbst klick machen kann. Also klare Kaufempfehlung!
This game is both funny and fun. I like it! I don't really know what to say. If you're not for the funny or kinda stupid stuff, I don't think you would like this game. However, if you do, I think this game is for you. It's the most amusing (hilarious) game I have currently in my library.
Cool game and story, puzzles are intuitive. The game is a little short, 5-6 hours without walkthrough. It works well on steamdeck.
OK
This game was a fun adventure to go on. I felt nostalgic vibes from it and could tell the developer was really inspired from classics of the 90s.
A very funny game and I enjoyed it. The only issue was the game wasn't long enough. If you like classic click and points, you'll enjoy this.
I'd give this a 6/10. It's quite fun in a 1990s, retro point and click way, but it's no match for games like Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, etc. It's also quite short, so if it appeals, make sure to get is at a good discount.
Save the universe by helping Beethoven, Newton and Leonard da Vinci to find their epiphany. Cool, nice enigmas, non-sensical humour, four hours long.
Without being childish, it might have desserve a little more difficulty, but still very enjoyable.
Fun adventure - some goofy moments but it's not to be taken seriously.
Enjoy it for what it is.
Милая, добрая и остроумная игра, которая с уважением относится к канонам жанра. Она не предлагает революционных механик и не блещет сложностью, но зато она стабильно даёт именно тот опыт, который от неё ждёшь: несколько часов качественного ностальгического квеста. Хороший выбор для спокойных выходных, если вы настроены именно на такой формат.
A fun little adventure!
This is cute and whimsical, and has everything I've come to expect from a good point & click adventure.
Juego muy divertido, con personajes históricos. Duración corta pero merece la pena.
Avventura punta e clicca carina e divertente. Abbastanza corta ma presa a prezzo scontatissimo ne vale assolutamente la pena. enigmi logici e facili
Niestety nie spodobała mi się, strasznie nie angażująca historia i wyświechtane zagadki. Średniaczek, ale dla mnie poniżej średniej, może jeżeli komuś siądzie typ humoru to jeszcze coś z tego wyciąnie. Nie mogę polecić, chociaż kreska całkiem spoko i ma swoje momenty.
kelvin you stupid ♥♥♥♥♥
Fun short game, reminiscent of old style point and click graphic adventure games with goofy characters. Puzzles are not too hard
Fun and light-weight point and click adventure with a rather dense hero trying to correct the timeline from interference by an even goofier antagonist. Found the humor OK and not particularly grating, which often happens with these games. Did go back to do the weirder achievements and used a guide - and was able to choose each chapter which was very convenient. For the most part with the main plot, I found the point and click puzzles fair.
I love point & click games, grew up with Day of the tentacle, full throttle, monkey island, simon the sorcerer etc :)
This game is meh at best, get it on sale if at all. Didn't like the puzzles and it's pretty short.
Bardzo fajna gra. Polecam na spokojny wieczorek przy herbatce
Веселая и не замысловатая игрушка на пару часиков времени жанра Point&Click, сочетающая себя отсылки давних эпох, такие как Бетховен, Леонардо Да Винчи с его Лизой, Моцарт.
Проходится на одном дыхании, ничего сложного нет, стоит своих денег 💵
Рекомендую к покупке!👍
10/10 ⭐️
Clever and funny game. I had this game on my wishlist forever; I finally bought and played the game nine years after it was released. I shouldn't have waited so long. It's a good one.
mmm...very godly game

Underrated point and click
If you like games like Monkey Island you'll also like this game: basically the same humor, music, atmosphere and puzzles. Bit short, but highly recommended.
Приятный забавный поинт энд клик квест на один-два вечера.
Me ha gustado ver a 3 grandes personalidades en un juego. Aunque algunos puzzles me han resultado poco lógicos, el juego es original y divertido.
Pese a algunas críticas negativas que leí antes de empezar a jugar, debo decir que es un gran juego y que gráficamente está muy elaborado.
Es corto pero no hace falta más. Lo único, recomiendo comprarlo de rebajas.
gute Unterhaltung, tolle Rätsel, schöne Retroanspielungen. Day of the Tentacle-Charme :)
Un petit point'n'click s'inspirant des jeux de Lucasart.
Очень приятный квест, в котором легко застрять, ибо иногда он склонен к пиксель-хантингу. Но к счастью авторы в курсе того, что на дворе 21-век и должна быть возможность подсвечивать важные предметы. В остальном это весёлый и полный прекрасной самоиронии квест. Жаль, короткий:)
Real life time travelling to the time of point-and-click adventures in the style of the great LucasArts. I enjoyed it.
Lovely art style, good old point & click feel and fine story with jumping in time. Very easy though at least if you have played any point & clicks. So felt super short game. Would still say that worth the purchase, at least if on sale.
cool
Fun little point and click!
Pretty cool and chill point and click with funny monkey island references. I love those!
This is really good. It can be funny and it has some pretty clever puzzles.
broken game
Dobrze skrojona, przyzwoita gra dla entuzjastów przygodówek w stylu lat 90-tych, ze słuszną dozą sucharowego, aczkolwiek nienachalnie durnego humoru z nawiązaniami do współczesnej popkultury (patrz, ulubione zajęcie Newtona), okraszona niezgorszą ścieżką dźwiękową ze szczyptą muzyki klasycznej w ujęciach filmowych. Polecam, zwłaszcza, że krótka i stosunkowo łatwo zbiera się osiągnięcia.
Its a fun point and click. Not very hard and not very long but fun.
Why are you still looking at me?
That pretty much sums it up.
You can leave now.
Ich habe ein Spiel nach Art von den alten PnC-Adventure-Klassikern a la Day of the Tentacle gesucht und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Schade nur, dass die Spielzeit mit guten 4 Stunden so kurz war. Ich habe es umso mehr genossen. Rätsel hätten noch einen Tick schwieriger sein dürfen. Humor dafür erstklassig!
total trash
"The Shortest Machine" is a very logical game overall
If you ate mushrooms right before playing it
Which I did
So I finished it in one evening
Worth it
Short, witty adventure with a lot of references to DOTT and some fun easter eggs. A few historical figures and references give this game a nice touch too. The puzzles are quite logical and you eventually sort things out. As with most graphic adventures, don't look for clues online, just exit the game if you get stuck, and come back another day. Otherwise you'll finish the game too quickly.
Eine Mischung aus Chaos, Logik und „Warum zur Hölle mache ich das gerade?“. Wenn ihr Lust auf absurde Zeitsprünge und faule Sprüche habt, gönnt euch Kelvin.
Honestly, a super fun interactive puzzle game with lots of fun hidden Easter eggs and hidden referents. At first I thought that this would be very childish and wouldn't be fun to play with, but after playing it for a while, I found the game very fun and engaging, even as an adult.
A funny game with good voice acting, with mostly serviceable gameplay.
I played only the first chapter but it can be summed up as typical [i]point & click[/i] series of actions focused on obtaining a certain outcome by finding items, exchanging item, combining items, etc.
So far so good.
[b]HOWEVER[/b]...
I have to give it up for developer Blyts for finding a way to make even the dreaded [i]moon logic[/i] look good in comparison to the logic-devoid nonsense they pulled off at the end of the first chapter of this game, which lead me to immediately get a refund.
[spoiler]Your mission is to make Beethoven write his Fifth Symphony. The only 'puzzles' left in the chapter are a group of drunks wanting to toast with you with a tankard, a rock-paper-scissors competition with a mysterious extra rule that rewards a tankard, a fortuneteller that can help you figure out where to find the game's rules if she has playing/tarot cards, and finally a man with playing cards who can be tricked into drinking a cocktail (that you have!) that will knock him out.
You can see the obvious path from A to B, B to C, C to D and D to E. But how does E get you to X (Beethoven writing his symphony)? Excellent question! The developer clearly had no idea either, so... IT JUST DOES! Isn't that hilaaaaaaaarious?!
Sigh.[/spoiler]
In short: a genuinely funny point & click that you should absolutely check out if you think people complaining about games with moon logic just need to get out more. You'll love just going through the motions with your brain turned off while you enjoy the lovely voice acting and periodically chuckle to yourself as the protagonist says or does something silly.
A solid point-and-click game with hilariously entertaining dialogues—honestly, it's worth playing just for that alone. The puzzles are fairly logical, which makes the gameplay feel a bit too easy at times. However, the lack of a fast travel option slows things down more than I’d prefer. I enjoyed it.
Muy bueno y hecho en Argentina
Short fun graphic adventure, very reminiscent of 90s Lucasart point and click games. Good humour, excellent voice acting, a solid 8 out of 10
I've been a point-and-click game lover for as long as I can remember.
This one reminded me of the free games made by a Flash game developer/studio called Carmel Games, which were my absolute favorites, so I had to give K&TIM a shot.
Kelvin and the Infamous Machine is a simple point-and-click game that has moments of great humor, great voice acting, and a colorful and comedic art style. However, it does fall in line with the quality of a free Flash game. I would be more inclined to recommend the game for $10 if there were more than 4 chapters - featuring other prominent historical figures with uniquely funny stories and interactions. Granted, without ad revenue paying money for any game someone spent time on is more than fair.
Regarding gameplay, the solution choices were either really simple or flat-out incohesive. I caught myself relying on walkthroughs for some parts and still scratched my head on how it would make sense. For anyone who made complete sense of every step for completing each chapter, I marvel at how differently our minds work!
The last thing is the slow travel. There are plenty of moments where you have to go back and forth across the entire map, especially when you're actively solving and attempting to make associations with items and people/places/things as you typically would in a point-and-click adventure. But this one dragged and tested my patience.
On the plus side, I think the story was a great concept. It is clever, funny, and produces a clear objective, making the point-and-click style reasonable.

Eh, I often wish Steam had a "neither here, not there about it" button for reviews. It's alright, but not a must-play classic.
it's fun and wacky, just a good time and fun puzzles
Genial aventura gráfica que recuerda la época dorada de Lucasarts. Guion muy divertido y puzzles bastante buenos. Ademas el trabajo de voz es excelente.
好，要是最后没有俗套的[spoiler] 亲吻 [/spoiler]环节就更好了
Okay.
Not one of the best ones, but still good
A clear homage to Day of the Tentacle while trying to be its own thing.
Lamentablemente tengo que bajarle el pulgar a esta aventura gráfica. No me voy a extender demasiado como suelo hacer en otras reseñas, simplemente decir que tiene varios aspectos positivos, empezando por su estética, el arte del juego es un lujo, digno de las mejores aventuras gráficas. Los sonidos y las voces también son de muy buena calidad... en síntesis, podríamos decir que el juego es muy bueno técnicamente hablando. La historia, parte de una idea ingeniosa... entonces [b] ¿por qué la calificación negativa? [/b] Bueno, es simple, el juego falla en lo más importante: divertir, entretener, y sobre todo en la manera en que se desarrolla. En una aventura gráfica de tan corta duración (menos de cuatro horas de juego) los puzzles son todo. Si los puzzles y la manera en que se desarrolla la historia falla, entonces falla todo, no importa que tan original sea la premisa. En ese sentido, el juego falla terriblemente.
Es muy dificil (por no decir imposible) resolver algunos puzzles, dado que carecen absolutamente de lógica. Además, carecen de contexto o propósito. Si te dijeran que tenés que lograr "tal cosa", pensarías de qué manera podrías realizarla, pero si no te dicen cuál es esa cosa u objetivo, simplemente te tiran en una locación (con la excusa de la máquina del tiempo) y te dejan ahí tirado, ¿qué haces? La única manera de avanzar es probando todo lo que vas encontrando por el escenario. Trama ingeniosa pero la manera de hacer que se desarrolle es super pobre y forzada. Lamento darle negativo porque se ve que es un juego realizado (técnica y artísticamente) con mucho cuidado, pero sinceramente no podría recomendarlo a un conocido o amigo, ya que es un bodrio como solemos decir por estos pagos, aburridísimo a más no poder, a pesar de sus intentos de ser gracioso en algunos diálogos y conversaciones.
Toujours un plaisir de reconnaître un voice actor de BG3 dans un autre jeu. Great game.
Had a great time, thanks!
Pretended to drink beer in a pub with some lads, and accidentally gave Ludwig Van Beethoven an aneurysm
Cute. Pretty basic but fun. Worth the play.
Sin ser la bomba, me ha parecido más que correcta dentro de su género. Me ha tenido entretenido las 6 o 7 horas que me ha llevado completarla. El humor es un poco previsible lo que le resta algo de gracia, pero en general, lo he jugado con una sonrisa. Me ha gustado la coherencia de casi todos los puzzles, para mi han tenido sentido todas o casi todas las combinaciones que hay que hacer de objetos con otros objetos, personajes o lugares. He tenido que tirar de guía 3 o 4 veces, pero en todos los casos me ha servido para darme cuenta de que se me había pasado por alto algún objeto, o incluso algún escenario, como la parte del cobertizo y el castillo tras el cementerio, que había obviado, con lo que no había manera posible de avanzar.
newgrounds.com at the time had better adventure games and they where all free
This is a very good game.
Witty, funny, with clever puzzles.
I mean, it's more or less fine for the tiny discounted price.
Not a patch on the better (but vastly more expensive) standouts in the genre, but it was interesting enough for a couple of hours. The first chapter had the most intuitive puzzles, and was the better part of the game. I've got no interest in playing it again to get all the achievements, though.
it is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun Game
no ^^
I am only on chapter 2 of this game and I love it so much, I couldn't wait until the end to write a review! I play a lot of point and click games, and this one hits all the marks!
The quality of life features are great - almost completely playable with the mouse (including inventory), but keyboard shortcuts are there. In other games, it bugs me when I use the mouse to interact with the world, but have to stop to click "I" each time I want to access the inventory.
The puzzles are challenging, but make sense. I don't feel like the game is rushed through.
The comedy is GOLD! I have laughed so much at the dialog, I love talking to every character!
I am so surprised the company who made this game hasn't made any more comedy point and clicks, this one is so amazing! I really hope they make more in the future.
Divertente e rilassante avventura grafica vecchio stile, con enigmi piuttosto semplici e non troppi dialoghi a spezzare il ritmo. Forse l'unica pecca è la brevità e gli ambienti non troppo curati ma nel complesso la consiglio.
A good old school graphic adventure. Liked the design and voice acting too. Such relief and fun after the dawdling monstrosities that are Tails Noir, Genesis Noir, and Kentucky Route Zero.
Point and click game with decent humour
Nice story, funny interactions, cute graphics, riddles not too hard
Muy buen juego aunque te quedas con ganas de más
meh
Максимально средненький квест. Очень быстро проходится. И так же быстро выветривается из головы.
entretenido, te hace pensar
The art style is charming and Newton is so adorable lol. Being able to start over each chapter separately is actually pretty nice and saves the effort of doing manual saves at certain points like in other point and clicks, though, also works well because the chapters are not that long either.
Sencilla aventura point and click con dialogos divertidos. Aun en 2024 se siente divertida aunque corta
Overall I liked the design and humor. Had to get a few hints in order to progress, as some of the puzzles were not clear to me.
It's a nice point and click adventure. It was fun and had some humorous moments. It's a good family game.
It's on the shorter side. It took me just under 9 hours to 100% all the achievements.
Petit pouce bleu, à réserver aux amateurs de point'n click à l'ancienne (DoTT, Sam'nMax, ...)
Doublage très bon, durée de vie assez courte (5h/10h) mais pour le prix (3€ en promos) ça va.
L'histoire se tient, avec un découpage en 3 actes/missions dans des endroits différents et sans lien, et un dernier acte final très court pour conclure.
Petit pouce car la réalisation est assez pauvre, au niveau des animations comme des graphismes un peu vides ; qq énigmes demandent un guide car peu intuitives.
A voir leur prochaines productions, on peut voir ce jeu comme un bon début.
Es una aventura gráfica sencillita pero que sabe hacer que el jugador se sienta inteligente. Sus puzzles y el uso de los objetos siguen momentos lógicos, consiguiendo que nuestra mente vaya por delante suponiendo lo que hay que hacer. Jugarlo se siente muy bien y está lleno de humor en sus diálogos. Eso sí, la trama, aunque divertida, no es nada del otro mundo, pero mola encontrar personajes famosos de la antigüedad.
Ein nettes, witziges, nicht zu schweres Point & Click Adventure.
Die Spieldauer beträgt leider nur 6 Stunden.
Die Grafik und die musikalische Untermalung ist ansprechend und stimmungsvoll. Die Stimmen der leider englischen Sprachausgabe passt gut zu den jeweiligen Figuren.
Wer die alten Games von Lucas Arts mochte macht mit diesem Spiel nichts falsch.
Nice cozy Point n click which are my favorite. Plenty of characters, objects and locations. Many of the object use and combos made sense while others seemed a bit of a stretch so there were some moments of frustration and I resorted to the walkthrough more than once. Over it was very cozy n cuddly with a great sense of humor.
TLDR: An incredibly simple adventure that doesn’t take anything seriously.
[b][u]General Thoughts/Overview:[/u][/b]
Kelvin and the infamous machine (KIM) is an over the top, light hearted, Saturday morning cartoon feeling kind of point and click adventure. Our villain is a mad scientist on route to destroy the universe with time travel, and our plucky muppet must bumble his way through three time periods to help famous figures complete their most famous works and right the timeline.
Kelvin himself is the archetypal ‘idiot protagonist’. He feels like someone put Gary Goodspeed from Final Space into a point and click adventure. The puzzles are mostly straight forward fare for PnC vets. Grab a random assortment of junk, rub said junk on anything with a name, and talk to everyone over and over. While there is a bit of moon logic, mostly pretend you’re in the Saturday morning cartoon and you’ll be fine.
[b][u]Pros:[/u][/b]
[list][*] Wonderfully simple art, music, and sound effects. It’s quite easy to get absorbed into and play KIM thanks to the design being quite stripped back.
[*] The voice acting is delightful, and it feels like everyone, including side characters, are both into and enjoying their roles.
[*] KIM gave me a few laugh out loud moments. I’d be hesitant to call it ‘funny’, per say, but if you embrace the silly and let it, it’ll give you some childish giggles.

[b][u]Cons:[/u][/b]
[list][*] The aiming of this feels a bit off. The art, sound, acting, etc. would suggest the game is aimed at kids. But the puzzles, while mostly logical, can be extremely frustrating at points. They require quite a few steps and a lot of sideways knowledge and lateral thinking to fully pull off.
[*] The lack of a skip cutscene button and some unskippable dialogue make various sections tedious. The long transitions between scenes doesn’t help this, with Kelvin ambling across the screen like he’s got all day.
[*] KIM doesn’t do anything new. This isn’t a story one will remember, in exactly the same way as 90% of those cartoons never stuck. The characters will sort of merge into one, the puzzles are so meh level that they won’t stick, the story draws so heavily on other media that you’ll just forget it, and it gives it this overall disposable feeling.
[/list]
[b][u]Suggested improvements:[/u][/b]
[list][*] Skip cutscene button, and make all dialogue skippable.
[*] Hotspot highlight should also show exits.
[*] A double click to move, or skip animation button, so I can zoooooom around.
[*] I’d have liked a slot based save system so my achievement run could’ve been done in 10 minutes instead of a little over an hour.

[b][u]Overall Recommendation:[/u][/b]
DO NOT BUY THIS IF IT IS NOT ON SALE.
Seriously. This is a two quid game not a ten quid game, and it goes on sale for exactly that.
That said, I give this a solid thumbs up as a game. It’s frustrating until you solve it, as a puzzler should be. It’s got that self-referential and irreverent humour that made the original point and clicks the absolute icons that they are. It’s smooth and easy to play, with good enough everything. All round this is a solid addition to anyone looking for something casual. It’s also super short. It took me around two and a half hours with no guide, with another hour to 100%
As such, this is not for a point and click vet looking for a challenge. It isn’t for someone looking for some whizzbang and a bunch of explosions, it isn’t for someone looking for a meaningful story experience, and it isn’t for someone looking for something serious.
KIM is a Saturday morning cartoon in point and click form, and if you're embracing and accepting of that, I think you’ll have a good time.
I just don't enjoy the gags about Beethoven losing his hearing and Kelvin yelling at him to get him to hear and all that stuff. This game isn't for me.
Весёлый, симпатичный, но короткий, квест с хорошей динамикой и логическими загадками. Рекомендуется к прохождению
A nice, short, sweet point and click game, not the harderst but definitely enjoyable if you think the price is good enough.
Sehr geiles old school adventure game. Hatte viel Spass.
Типичная адвенчура с приятной возможностью подсветить все предметы, с которыми можно так или иначе взаимодействовать(прощай, пиксельхантинг!). Что не отменяет того, что некоторые взаимодействия супернеочевидные. Однако эту проблему перекрывает юмор, он здесь вполне добротный.
RESPECTFULLY. The davinci level is a little bit much. you know. I didnt realize that I had to put the rat to the guy. and then speak to a plant when I already clicked on him 89 times in the playthrough. just to click on him the 90th TIME to trigger new dialogue with the old maaaaan. to let him give me sleeping PILLSSS. for me to get the hecking ROOOOOTTSS. And then, you expected me to paint the eggs I had in my inventory like 15 mins within the level. that is. RESPECTFULLY. AN INSUFFERABLE AMOUNT OF BRAIN POWERT I APPARENTLY LACK. But anyways. I do enjoy your nobodies game. so you did improve because I didnt get stuck for like 45 mins. anyways cheers cheers, dont play the davinci level. 2/10 only because of the davinci level.
