Mother Machine is a co-op roguelike coming to PC and consoles

Indie studio Maschinen-Mensch revealed its latest game upcoming game, called Mother Machine. The title is a co-op roguelike title with platforming mechanics, in which teams of up to four players must navigate a hostile environment with procedurally generated environments. The studio plans to launch the game on PC (with support for Steam Decks) and consoles, aiming for a release window sometime in Q1 2025.

GamesBeat got a chance to see a preview of Mother Machine in action: The player characters are adorably revolting little chaos gremlins spawned from the titular character, a supercomputer abandoned on a planet formerly inhabited by humans. The Mother Machine sends the gremlins out to explore the planet, where they attempt to survive and find out more about their world and their “mother.” The gremlins’ abilities are augmented with a series of mutations allowing players to customize their character.
