Primordia

In a world where humans have vanished and machines are failing, stoic robot Horatio Nullbuilt lives aboard an aging airship with his companion Crispin. When a rogue robot steals the power core they need to survive, the pair set out to recover it.

Travel through the wasteland and the city of Metropol, examining locations, talking with robots, and collecting and using items to solve point-and-click puzzles. Horatio and Crispin can each be controlled, and Crispin can offer hints when you are stuck.

The search reveals more about robotic society, humanity's legacy, and Horatio's origins. Optional puzzles add background about the world, while decisions and actions can shape events and lead to multiple endings.

Reviewers often praise Primordia's story, worldbuilding, and bleak robot-inhabited setting, along with its characters, dialogue, and voice acting. Many also enjoy the pixel art and music. Puzzle reactions are mixed: some find the challenges satisfying and appreciate the hints or alternate solutions, while others report obscure logic, missed hotspots, and backtracking that can interrupt the story.
