The Submachine (short for Submerged Machine) series is a series of point-and-click adventure games, created by Mateusz Skutnik, that was first released in September 2005.
In all the games you play as an unidentified character who awakens, seemingly after having some sort of amnesia, in new locations of the "Submachine" and have to solve different puzzles and examine the environment in order to escape. The series has been generally well received. There are ten installations in the main series as well as four spin-offs. Two of the spin-offs were made for a Jayisgames contest and another for the website of the band Future Loop Foundation.
In an interview with Igor Hardy, Mateusz Skutnik stated that "This series should go at least until Submachine 10. After that, I don't know."
