You feel like you really get to know Josef and when he does stuff like dance, it will make you smile and become even more attached to him. Instead, the story is told through these bubbles that pop up and you get these crude drawings that give you backstory as well as letting you know more about Josef and the other robots that he comes across. I already talked about how the game has no actual dialogue. This is one of those games that if it was in a gaming mag back in the 90s and you were flipping through the pages, it would grab your attention and make you want to know all there is to know about it. This world feels like it is in decay and the color pallet used is dark and depressing, but it works and works so incredibly well. The whole game is set in a world that is populated by robots so everything has a rather unique style to it. The visual style of Machinarium is perhaps its most outstanding feature. You become attached to these characters even though they do not actually talk.
The story just oozes charm and the way it is told without any voice acting or even text is just remarkable. The story is about Josef piecing together what happened to him. The main character that we play as is a little robot called Josef who has awoken in the junkyard, in pieces and no idea what has happened to him. The story that Machinarium is one that is charming, depressing, and haunting all at the same time. This was clearly made by people who grew up enjoying these kinds of games and as a result, it has a bit of an old-school charm to the gameplay that it is offering.
