Kelvin and the Infamous Machine

Kelvin is the patient assistant to Dr. Edwin Lupin, a tacky genius who snaps when the scientific community laughs at his shower-shaped time machine. Lupin barrels into the past to derail history's greatest minds and finish their work himself, leaving Kelvin and fellow assistant Lise to stitch the timeline back together.

Three chapters of classic point-and-click puzzling unfold across hand-drawn 2D environments, with 56 fully animated characters and over 2,000 lines of dialogue. Help Ludwig van Beethoven, Isaac Newton, and Leonardo da Vinci reach their masterworks while Lupin keeps sabotaging the schedule.

A dozen original tracks back the absurdity, the puzzles ramp up gradually rather than wall-of-bricking you, and the comic tone never quite lets the historical figures keep their dignity intact.
