I played it with my wife on the couch over many winters evenings, and then ten years later played it with my daughter. Good times. Reminded me of playing Sierra games as a kid.

Same here, though no kids yet.

I bought the soundtrack on vinyl (by Tomáš Dvořák, aka Floex), then got a record player, aaaand ended up accumulating a ton of records since then.

I still play that record though, it never gets old.

The other game that we enjoyed in a very similar way is Primordia [1]. Named our first cat Crispin afterwards.

You will probably enjoy Boxville [2]; it's very much Machinarium-inspired. Its sequel, Boxville 2,came out recently, so there's more in store.

It's Ukrainian-made (Machinarium is Czech), so the devs share a gritty post-communist childhood to draw the inspiration from.

I also love the soundtrack so much and have listened to it thousands of times, especially By The Wall, my favorite song. PS: Thanks for posting the composer’s solo name, Floex, because there were (are?) two people with exactly the same name working at Amanita Design, bizarrely!

There’s also an album called Machinarium Remixed, which is the original soundtrack made into slightly more energetic/EDM tracks. Really good stuff.

I especially love "Mr Handagote" from the soundtrack, absolute masterpiece which gives me goosebumps every time.

I really enjoyed "Samorost 3" by the same developers. Machinarium still takes the cake though.

Don't miss out on their Botanicula too!

Yeah, it's really a masterpiece. It's utterly fantastic.
