Hi there Adira! I recently bought The Machine and am currently preparing to play it with some of my friends, but we have a question that I feel needs to be answered; is it possible for any of the characters to finish the machine, or would that ruin the premise of it?
So when Fen and I were writing the game, the continual downfall and failure was incredibly important to us. If you decide together with your friends to tell a different story though please let us know how it goes!! Someone finishing the machine is a wildly different game for that player in particular.
