There is no DLC, no season pass, no roadmap, and no developer communications announcing future content.

About this game
[ENIGMA TECHNOLOGIES PRESENTS]
Have you ever wondered... what goes on inside the mind of an android?WELL, THE ENIGMA® CORPORATION invites you to step into the DREAMSCAPE.
With DREAMSCAPE, we can represent the mind of an AI through an interactive 3D environment that we can explore! Get to know your new AI best friend inside and out via the DREAMSCAPE terminal interface, as they help you through this simulation.
[CAUTION]
Note that a DREAMSCAPE is a reflection of an AI's mental state, and that exploring the mind of a contaminated AI could yield unpredictable results.
However, there is no need to worry. as this recruitment exercise is only a simulation of what a real DREAMSCAPE would look like.
[DESCRIPTION]
THE ENIGMA MACHINE is a short first-person sci-fi horror puzzle game that aims to capture the obscurity and unpredictability of games of old, framed within an increasingly unsettling presentation.
FEATURING:
- A unique fusion of glitchy mid-90's 3D graphics and VHS effects with more modern graphical effects for a distinctive visual style.

- A blend of traditional first-person controls combined with point-and-click mechanics for satisfying interaction with the world.
- A story that could only be told through the medium of games
- AVERAGE PLAY TIME: 60-90 MINUTES
THIS EXERCISE FEATURES FLASHING LIGHTS AND PATTERNS WHICH MAY POTENTIALLY TRIGGER SEIZURES FOR PARTICIPANTS WHO SUFFER FROM PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY.
