It's a game from a Czech company called Amanita Design. They had developed Samorost and Samorost 2 before, and they released Machinarium in 2009.

It's a point-and-click adventure game with beautiful, hand-drawn visuals. From what I've read, people say it's a bit short, but I played the demo, and I would (and will) pay the $20 just for the atmosphere.

You can find more info and play the Flash based demo at the official site (machinarium.com).

Oh, and make sure you listen to the soundtrack (http://machinarium.net/blog/2009/09/29/machinarium-soundtrack-preview/) and the bonus EP (http://machinarium.net/blog/2009/11/22/free-machinarium-soundtrack-bonus-ep/) ;)

I think I bought this on a steam sale a while back.

Aaah I saw a trailer of this a way back and thought it looked good. Then I played the Robox demo on WiiWare and hated it. I'm glad this isn't it. :)

But it's not the kind of game I'd like.

I bought it off their site when they had a deal and it was $5. Game is only like 3 maybe 4 hours long but damn if it isn't an awesome 3-4 hours.

I wish I'd bought it at that time. I knew it was $5 but didn't buy it then, I have no idea why. Now I'm waiting for another price drop (holiday season on Steam maybe?).

When I first looked at this game it reminded me of the Simpsons episode where they showed the Russian Itchy and Scratchy.

Nooo! That site doesn't load for me! I looked it up, and the bundle is great, but for some reason it says the server couldn't be found.. :(

Works with a tunnel site though..

Don't sell it to Turkish people!!!!!!

That sucks, but did you get it through a proxy?

I tried a few different combinations, but the only thing it worked was with one of those tunnel sites. But that probably won't let me download it when I pay them, so I didn't purchase it.

The other games available in the bundle look good as well. Wish I could buy it..

Edit: Bought it. Found a tunnel site that lets me download them. Getting the games one by one ;) Thanks a lot Vampyr!

I paid $10, btw ;)

Wait, I have to post this.

That site I found didn't work for the larger downloads, kept stopping mid-download. So I looked for another way. I used Google Translate to translate the download page they sent me to Turkish. All the links worked through Google's servers, at full speed.

I'm amazed.
