Mekanikko

"There was a shift in the air, as people are going missing left and right. Is this the work of a psycho? Or perhaps... something much worse..."

Mekanikko is a twin-stick RPG that takes place in the world of modern retro steampunk. Explore the world of automatons, and meet a cast of colorful characters with each of their own story to tell. Solve cases with your partner, and find out the truth of a forgotten tale of this mechanical nightmare.

THIS GAME IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS.
This build does not fully represent the final outcome of the project, as it will be change. All of the graphics, spritework, and programming are done by the creator. Some of the soundtracks are officially made. This project has been moved from fangame to indie game status recently. Yes, this game was previously known as Sonic and the Mayhem Master.

If you want to see some active development stuff or updates before the next builds, I recommend checking out the GameJolt page, since most of the stuff has been archived and published. I'll try my best to send dev logs every now then in this page. The link is down below after the warning.
