MechaNika
Nika Allen is a seven year old child genius in world that she despises. Being a genius she has the capability to do what we can’t do when we are disillusioned about the way we live: Destroy it if course! I thought children were supposed to be untouched by the cynicism and bitterness we feel about the world today from our teenage years…
This is a point and click game where you will help sweet little Nika gather the items she needs. In case you miss this if you double click on Nika she will run like her life depended on it. The art is not anything to write home about. Despite the simple, drawn childlike style this is a game designed with adults in mind. In fact the choice of art style is good choice for MechaNika because it lightens the dark undertones and humour in the game. Give this plot to another developer and we would be reviewing a horror game not a short point and click.

MechaNika initially presents itself as a cute children’s adventure game but quickly turns dark, as pervasive adult themes slowly permeate the game to an absurd extent. This is a point and click style game with simple puzzles and basic conversation trees. The art style and soundtrack play a stark contrast to the premise of the story; the protagonist, Nika, is a 7 year old girl with dreams of taking over the world due to her internalised conflict - that she tries to hide with a smile - for being neglected by all of the important people in her life.
