While it’s been dabbled with in games like Dishonored and BioShock Infinite, the steampunk aesthetic has been surprisingly underutilized in the world of games. Perhaps that’s partially due to some of the appeal of this visual style being its detailed nature. Steampunk blends the traditional fantasy style with Victorian-era industrial vibes. What that means in practice is lots of gears, pipes, levers, buttons, pulleys, and other tiny parts and pieces that can all make up an artist’s nightmare.

Gear Enigmas will definitely entertain and challenge you with a lots of puzzles, that you will have to solve to progress in the story line. Nice graphics and good story plot will ensure that you will have great gaming experience. Try it out!

As usual, a straightforward conclusion first: Gear Enigmas is an interesting steampunk point-and-click puzzle game and I love it! You play Carl, a young mechanician who came home for your sister's birthday. So far it sounds heart-warming, but things went down pretty quickly. You will need to protect your family by solving mysteries. (Home, sweet home.) This game has almost everything I want in a puzzle game: point-and-click, so I can take my time to explore; hand-drawn graphics, so it has this retro/vintage flavor that goes perfectly with mysteries; then steampunk, the charming world where excited things will happen. I won't reveal too much about the storyline here, but I think it's not that complicated. (I have to be honest, after playing Rusty Lake: Roots, no game's story can be called stunning anymore.)
