Game Description:
Submachine. The game in which with every puzzle solved, every chapter finished you fall deeper and deeper into mystery. Fourth chapter takes us to the heart of the submachine, the place where all questions will be finally answered. Or were finally answered. Once again it’s time to ask youself – is it possible that you’re too late?

Congratulation. That was a great game. I’d like one day to say a film inspired by your game!

I really liked this game, but especially the part with the drop of water in the sandy chamber. :-)

I still think this is the best SM-game. SM7 is great, but this one is more difficult to solve and therefor more satiesfying to play. Love it!

I stumbled upon these submachine games recently and am awestruck. I have never experienced anything this complex, and am enjoying hours and hours playing them. I cannot imagine how anyone can solve them without a walkthrough.You are either a Genius or have a very twisted mind th come up with these. Either way, I think they are most wonderful and brilliant!!!! I hope you get big bucks for making them. How long does one take to make? Thanks, Jerry.

Oh my.
I ended up with one secret more than the max…. leaving me with 0/-1 secrets left to collect.
Intentional??

great game! the pictures were great also. I especially liked the cat. The game has its own twist to it, I like that.

What a blast! Thank you for the fabulous game.
I’m on a Mac so I had to pause the game at one point so I could go to the store, but it is completely worth it to play games of this nature even if I can’t save!

Great game! You are my favorite escape-type game creator by far. Your games are challenging but the puzzles are intuitive and so the challenge is fair. And the art is fantastic!
Thanks so much for making these.

Amazing.
I’ve just discovered all your games yesterday, and after finishing the Daymare Town series I’m now heading directly to Submachine 5.
Tricky, but soooooo great.
Thank you!

I loved the fact that you solved many problems with your hammer. Instead of hiding a lot of keys you simply amde to to use the hammer. Great job!

your games are so hard to figure out and you are a great desighner and artist. i wish i could make games like this, you should keep making these games until it is impossable to even create part of one! these games inspire millions of people, im playing the whole series……. but what i dont get is that your game numbering goes from single digits to 32. but it is still the best game, you should make one with 50 different hard to find secrets and you have to collect five of each in the set of 50 for your last game!!!!!!!!!!!…. if there will be a last one, also try to think about multiplayer submachine, it would swich puzzles randomley after completeing one!

Very interesting and addicting… Thank you for your amazing work that gives us such a good time.

i just stayed up until 2 in the morning and i have to work tomorrow at 6 just to play the first through the 4th. tomorrow i will finish the rest
December 7th, 2011 at 3:54 pm
great game but we had no idea where most of the portal codes came from, we used the walkthrough when we needed to make a jump!
December 11th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
Fantastic Games!!!!! when sub8 is coming, we want more, more, morrrrreeeeee :)
December 12th, 2011 at 5:18 am
great job man, I can see some art in your game, thanks

I felt like such an idiot when I had to look at a walkthrough and find out what the shapes in the tomb trap meant. Gah, second time I’ve had to use a walkthrough in this series D:. At least I found all the secrets by myself…
Anyways, fantastic games! Let’s hope I can keep walkthrough-usage to the bare minimum.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
I don’t want to use the walkthrough, I refuse. But I don’t know what else to do. Still, at 001, I can’t pass the bars that lead to a door. The arm on that golden statue hasn’t done anything. I’m clueless, but I won’t use walkthrough! Let’s hope I’ll make it…
January 14th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
I can’t find 1, the last, the ONLY BLOODY SECRET LEFT! Frus-tra-ting…
January 14th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Oh… now I see where that last secret was…
January 31st, 2012 at 2:05 pm
I’ve found 22 secrets. Is it possible???
