What is Submachine: Legacy?

This hand-drawn, 2D point-and-click adventure takes place across a network of deserted underground locations. You explore rooms, collect parts and notes, and repair machinery to solve puzzles while following the trail of a banished lighthouse keeper. The story unfolds in chapters as you search for a way out.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy methodical exploration and challenging machinery puzzles
  • +you like piecing together a story from collected notes

Not for you if...

  • you want action instead of slow room-by-room exploration
  • you prefer a story told without reading notes

What players say

98% of 1,463 reviews are positive

Players praise the hand-drawn art, eerie atmosphere, gradual story reveals, and puzzle design. They complain about extensive backtracking, easy-to-miss interactive objects, and solutions they find unclear, particularly in later sections.
