Acclaimed Indie Studio Maschinen-Mensch Unveils Chaotic Multiplayer Action-Platformer Mother Machine
BERLIN, Germany (August 13th, 2024) – Renowned for their innovative approach to game design, Maschinen-Mensch, the creators behind the hit series Curious Expedition, have today unveiled their newest project: Mother Machine. This vibrant new roguelike marries action-platforming with RPG elements in a procedurally generated co-op experience, set in the eerie cave networks of a forsaken space colony.
Utilizing the robust Unreal Engine 5, Mother Machine challenges players to take on the roles of "chaos gremlins", quirky creatures engineered by a dysfunctional robotic mother. These gremlins navigate a deadly cycle of death and revival, pushed constantly to explore and uncover the enigmatic past of their alien world.
Game Features:
- Dynamic Gameplay: Traverse through unpredictable alien caves with the ability to run, climb, and leap in a beautifully chaotic environment where no two playthroughs are alike.
- Customizable Abilities: Enhance your gremlins with a myriad of mutations, tailoring abilities to fit various playstyles and challenge levels.
- Seamless Multiplayer: Jump into the fray with up to four players in a drop-in multiplayer setup that fuels both competitive and cooperative gameplay.
- Inclusive Design: Balanced mechanics allow players of all skill levels to share the adventure, ensuring that everyone from novices to veterans can enjoy the game together.
- Deep Narrative: Delve into a tale that explores themes of technology, isolation, and familial bonds amid a backdrop of interstellar mystery.

Riad Djemli, CEO of Maschinen-Mensch, shares his excitement for the new venture: "Building on our legacy with Curious Expedition, we're thrilled to launch Mother Machine into the action-RPG arena. This game represents a new direction for our team, blending established mechanics with fresh, procedural challenges."
Set millennia in the future on a distant, abandoned planet, Mother Machine tells the story of an AI left to fend for herself after humanity's departure. Her solution to solitude was to create the chaos gremlins, each bioengineered to thrive in the harsh conditions of their alien home, constantly seeking, collecting, and uncovering secrets buried deep within the planet.
For gamers eager to dive into this chaotic world, Mother Machine is now available to wishlist on various gaming platforms. Further details and updates can be found on the official Maschinen-Mensch website and Terminals.io.
