Automaton: Part 1
Automaton: Introduction opened the scene a few months ago for the visually fantastic, enjoyable, if a little simple (in rather a nice way though), Automaton game, promising us a ten part series of point'n'click finery. Well now Automaton: Part 1 is here to kick us off on our quest, with plenty of back story to explain more about the series, more very lush graphics, more playable puzzles, and more melancholic music [subbed by MsInterpret].

Get out the spray thing you used earlier, then click on the water puddle at the bottom right. Then youve got water.

The Hallway
First you must go through the intro. All you have to do is click and see what happens.
After that you will take the elevator to the hallway.The Hallway Here you will witness Mr. Crumpet being swallowed by “Wyrm”.
When you feel ready you should pick up the spray on the top of the nutrient tank.
When you click it, it will be added to your inventory.
Now go into your inventory and click the spray. You will see that it’s empty and that you should refill it.
Click the spray and then click at the end of the mineral tank. You should see it being refilled.
Now that you got a spray with minerals you should spray the apple that Mr. Crumpet dropped on the ground. Go into the inventory and click the spray and then click the apple. The apple is now hard and stiff.
Click the apple and you will kick it into “Wyrm’s” mouth. It is too hard for him to crush so don’t worry!
Now you must fill the spray with water. Do the same as you have done before. Go into the inventory and click the empty spray. Then at the water tank.
After you have filled the spray with water spray the apple with it.
Now there is only one thing remaining. Fill the spray with nutrients and then spray the apple. The apple should be growing larger and larger every time you click the screen.
Click the apple a few times and then “Wyrm” should crack open and thus release Mr. Curmpet from his belly.
Read a little and click a little and then proceed to the next level.

Listen to what Mr. Crumpet has to say and then pick up the super glue at the table. The super glue is next to the wine and the lamp.
After you have picked it up, click the chair next to the table. You will use your telekinetic power to put it on the table.
Proceed by clicking the lamp and the lamp shade should disappear.
Now that you have done that equip the super glue and click the top of the lamp.
After you are done pouring glue (the glue will be removed from your inventory) click the chair.
After you have combined the lamp and the chair, just click the screen.
Watch Mr. Crumpets' clumsy antics and then it's time to move on.

I've been looking forward to the continuation of this game. Pretty easy, but I still like it for its mood.

Ok, I haven't started this one yet. I just got to the menu page, and it says right at the bottom of the menu WALTHROUGH. What is the point of creating a game with the walkthrough already attached. I know we don't have to read it but it still takes away the fun of it, like working with fellow lazylaces folks getting through the game.

I cant wait to start though. Whinge over for the day.

That was very sweet. I love Mk4, though i can see trouble ahead with Mk3. Made all the better by the poignant music. Roll on Chapter 2.

Awesome game! Can't wait for episode 2 or Wogger #52... can't we just live in a world where both Wogger and Automaton are cool? Let's just agree to disagree and keep on clickin'!

Stupid game

I'll liked the game a lot. the graphics weren't bad and I loved the music. There were a few problems though. First of all the game was way to slow. And second of all why have a walktrough already attached to the game. I bet no one here even needed a walkthrough. But aside from those thing it was pretty good. Can't wait for part 2!















btw, that automaton 3 really creeps me out.

Gee . . . if only this game provided some backstory and dialog so I could understand what's going on.
