Why we picked this?

A Mechanical Story oozes style and charm from the very first puzzle to the last. The object of the game is to pick parts from your tray and put them into the correct positions in order to make them push a single button. The order in which you place your parts is just as important as where they go. The game includes four chapters, 48 perfectly crafted levels, and interactive tutorials that will help guide you through the game.

If you enjoy logic-based puzzles, you’ll love A Mechanical Story. It's all about tinkering.

The game is relatively slow paced and requires critical thinking. If you prefer you puzzles games to be more on the frantic side, skip this one.
