The Machine Whirred to Life is a puzzle game about moving objects while you cannot see them. The player can either make objects mobile, or cause them to continue being mobile by shutting their eyes.
The player finds themselves trapped in a cage within a massive mechanical construct that seems to have been lost to time due to the amount of rust and general decay. Due to an incredible fatigue the player shuts their eyes briefly to hear everything moving in unison around them along with the cage that once trapped them. This game focuses on platforming and shutting your eyes, forcing the player to rely on sound and predicted timing to determine when to jump and when to look at the world around them. Different objects will make distinct sounds as they move in specific ways, and the player can learn what this information means, using it to make a clear path ahead of them and solve their way through rooms of seemingly impassable debris and hazards.
