It’s rated 12+ and currently has 166+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Infamous Machine Stand Out
Kelvin and the Infamous Machine is a hilarious point-and-click adventure in which you stumble irresponsibly through history to help legendary geniuses complete their masterworks!
Kelvin is the well-meaning research assistant of Dr. Edwin Lupin, an outstanding but tacky physicist who goes completely nuts when his life’s work, a shower-shaped time machine, is ridiculed by the scientific community. Bent on leaving his mark, Lupin launches himself into the past to prevent history’s greatest geniuses from completing their defining works, so HE can complete them instead.
Now the very fabric of time is beginning to unravel, and it’s up to Kelvin and his fellow research assistant Lise to repair it. Point and click your way through three wacky, gorgeously drawn chapters to help Ludwig van Beethoven, Isaac Newton, and Leonardo da Vinci achieve their destined greatness!
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love this game. It was smart, creative and funny. A lot of critics said there were bugs that prevented them from completing the game. We didnt encounter any bugs whatsoever, and a had a great time playing it. Thank you so much.
We really enjoyed this game. Comical and fun adventure. Made us think, but wasnt impossible to solve problems. Hard to come by a lighthearted and well made point and click game this was perfect.
We wonder why this is the only game of its kind published by Blyts? Crisp artwork, fun puzzles, voice acting. Definitely worth the $.
Wish there was more!! Overall we enjoyed the humor, the challenges, and the graphics. These are by far our favorite type of games and this one is a diamond in the rough. Please make more.
And! Fun Usually we need a help button. It almost seems rude when the developers dont put one in or insist on redirecting you to their websiteThis story is difficult enough to use your head but not too difficult to give up & delete. Its fun and engaging and not too short and not too long. Just perfect. Thank you.
Had fun playing it…no glitches. Wish there were more of these point and clicks around! Clever.
A lot of people mention experiencing bugs with this game, but we didnt experience any with our second generation iPad Pro running iPadOS 14, so whatever bugs there were we think have been corrected. For reference, we played through in November 2020. This game has nice voice acting, fun puzzles at just the right degree of difficulty (not too hard, but not too easy except maybe the first level). If you like point and click adventures thisll be right up your alley. It feels more Ike a fully fledged console game than a mobile game, which we love. Our only complaint is the length! We think the price is fair for the amount of game you get, but we wouldve been willing to pay more for more game there are only three levels. It feels like you dont get enough time with the characters and that they couldve done more with it. It certainly leaves you wanting more, but we dont think thats any reason to reduce the rating. The gravedigger who likes pictures of cute animals will stick with us.
We absolutely love this game! Im a huge fan of point and click games, and this one is really good. Funny story, and funny dialogues! Totally worth it.
We adored this game and seriously hope there will be a sequel. Its an amazing point and click adventure with no goofy slider puzzles, no insane pixel hunting, no battles, and hilarious characters. We cant recommend it enough.
THIS IS AMAZING! Our favorite game Ive ever played!!! Please make another one! Amazing BUY BUY BUY.
A great point and click adventure. We were pleasantly surprised how fun this was. Well written, fun puzzles and great voice acting. Hope the have another in the series.
Its so nice to play an adventure game that relies on creativity, humor, intelligent puzzles and clean entertainment. If you like point and click adventures that require some creative thinking and interactive puzzling…then dont hesitate to grab this game. Its well worth the cost forthis lengthy, immersive game. The puzzles were all logical and didnt depend on random tapping like some games out there. Nowadays, the gaming world is oversaturated with developers who get lazy and rely on topics of violence, sex, suffering, death, demonic/satanic imagery, witchcraft and occult ritual abuse. Seems like developers dont understand that fear and adult subject matter arent forms of entertainment for the majority of healthy humans. So this game was a pleasant surprise and the developers deserve much gratitude and positive reviews. Thank you.
This is a fun one! Similar to monkey island and DOTT. Only issue is it is shorter than we typically like. Once you get into a world, the chapter changes. Have fun.
LOVED the game, super fun, but so incredibly short. A lot more content would be appreciated. We shouldnt be done with it in four hours when we paid $2.99 for the game.
We've played a lot of point and click adventure games, but the quality of the story, as well as the voice acting in the Infamous Machine is top notch. This game is full of snarky comments, which at times can have adult connotations. And that's fine with us, but we were playing with our five-year old boy (he loves to play point and click adventures with us). Nothing over PG-13, though…it was no big deal to sugarcoat the details for our son! Great game, though. We thoroughly enjoyed playing.
It wasnt an exceptional game, but it made us laugh. For that, to us it was worth playing.
Chapters 1 and 2 were more or less fine. Chapter 3 is broken now with the mysterious invisible jester's who we can apparently converse with but not see. At least we only paid $0.99 for the game.
This game has been so amazing. Challenging at times but so worth the time. We have played almost every point and click game you could imagine. We really enjoyed this one.
We really really enjoyed & loved this game, not only fun but hella funny please make another like this with a different adventure or something.
Funny and fun point and click adventure game.
We love this game so much!!! Need more.
Really fun game. Loved the concept…was def worth the money in time spent playing. Im not really a fan of a lot of dialogue so that was our least fave part and we wish the avatar could move a little faster but game was still fun.
We really enjoyed this game! Ive played many other point and click adventures, such as machinerium, tiny bang story, etc. And this reminds us of those. This is a great style of game. We highly recommend.
Scenery: great, lots of different areas to explore and laid out in a non-confusing manor. Learning curve: none, you get to play from the get go, brief storyline intro that adds to the game and sets the premise. Voice overs: terrific Storyline: wonderful Background storyline: taken from actual history, great learning tool. Jokes/humor: smart and funny Style: traditional P & C adventure game Game length: very good Game value for the money: excellent Puzzle ratio: solve multiple puzzles at once that are independent of each other for most of the game with all leading to the eventual final piece. Its NOT a solve one before you can move on game. They smartly let you solve many at a time in case youre stuck on something, you can solve another which hopefully leads you to the answer of the harder ones. Clues: Nice job. Its easy to remember what youre looking for by clicking a person or an object and the magnifying glass. Background sounds: very fitting Conversations: easy to use, adds background or helpful info, conversations change Ending: Has a challenge round, very cool and different, gotta think quick. Games Thought process: excellent, you have to think about the puzzles. Theyre not meaningless puzzles that just want you to click everywhere, theyve been thoroughly thought out and are very entertaining. Things go together for reasons and those reasons make sense to the story or puzzle Final thought: this game maker knows what theyre doing. This game is fun and we highly recommend it. We come from the Sierra, Leisure Suit Larry, Gobliiins, Space Quest and Freddy Pharkus Frontier Pharmacist era and this game is that high level of humor, sophistication and game play.
Very fun P&C game…challenging but not impossible.
Difficult but not overly so, and lots of fun.
Our favorite point and click adventure game! We love it so much we wish it was over 1000 hours long. Many times have we smile, laugh, and chuckle. The game is just to funny. The character is stupid but in the end all the world need is a stupid to save the world.
We didnt realize there were only 3 or 4 levels as we played through same night we bought it. So much fun!!!! We loved every second! Quite challenging at times as well.
Point and click adventure game how it should be! Story, voices, puzzles! What you need more? One more game of this kind, of course.
We only write reviews for those apps that truly deserve recognition, we.e. Room 1,2,3, etc. This game was not only entertaining, but challenging in trying to think through the clues. Great overall game.
This is a wonderful point and click adventure in the vein of classics from Lucas Arts. The story is funny, the puzzles are tough but not maddening, and the voice acting is great. It's a steal for the price. We highly recommend it.
Best point-and-click adventure game on the iPhone. It feels like a genuine LucasArts oldie. Great humor, good polish. Well done.
We have no idea why this game isn't more popular. It is a must have for point and click fans. We were hesitant when it was $4.99, because of the lack of reviews, but when we saw it had dropped to $1.99, we grabbed it. And at $1.99, it's a steal.
Kept our interest throughout, very well done.
This was such a great game, beautiful graphics and great story. Had us laughing out loud several times. If you are fans of sierra or Lucas arts adventure game give this one a try. Please make more games like this.
This game has everything you want in an adventure game; comedy, challenges, great animation and character actors. We hope to see more like this.
Great point and click adventure. Amazing voice over and great graphics. We don't understand how this game has flew so far under the radar. The puzzle are sometimes tough, not knowing what to do next. With that being said every puzzle has to do with the progression of the game. There aren't any filler puzzles that make no sense. This is one of the best point and click, adventure games we've ever played. We hope that they continue to make more games, even a sequel would be great. This game was comical, great visuals, amazing voice work and a great story line. Wish there were more games like this. Played it on our 6s plus without any issues. Worth every penny being as though it's seems like a game that would be played on a expensive game console.
If you like point and click adventure games this is worth a play. The game plays great on iPhone 6 Plus and it's a great story. Haven't heard much about it and it is great. Hoping they make another one.
Crashes often on our 8 Plus. We force wit all other programs to free up memory but doesn't help. However, if you're willing to restart the game every few minutes it's rewarding and enjoyable! Summary – has a classic point and click feel and a monkey island kinda humor.
Great funny game, deserves more attention. Our favorite thing was making the grave digger say toodles. We wouldve given five stars if there had been more female characters. Why cant games like this pass the Bechdel test.
Funny and challenging! Good length for the price. Wandering around until you make sense of stuff; no stress. You can tell creators had lots of fun making it. Hope theres a sequel.
Game is great but we have run into a bug that has made the game impossible to play. On chapter 3, the Leonardo level, we got past the guard and did all interactions. Now however, we can not go back to the village. It seems as if anytime we click past the guard to move away from castle, the audio and graphics freeze for a couple of seconds then shows where we have clicked but it does not pass.
The gameplay is amazing story is great but the game keeps crashing its so annoying ! Almost unplayable.
Beautiful game and fun story. We would recommend it, but it freezes every other minutes on iPhone X.
Loved the 1st 2 chapters, almost was finished with chapter 3, but can't get back out of the castle area once we get past the guard.. Would rate higher, but please fix bug.
It would be awesome if it didnt freeze so often.
Ive never had an app freeze so often. We have to restart every five minutes to play, which ruins an otherwise decent game. We didnt even make it through Chapter One before giving up. We must have restarted at least twenty times.
This game constantly freezes and we have to shut it down and start it back up very annoying cant even get 2 minutes in before it freezes 5 times.
We cant get past the first 5 min without the game crashing. We dont understand why the developer cant figure this out. It was a total wast of money.
Seems no one cares and answers, we have paid for this bloody game and it had never opened even once. Always force closes. We have an iPad Pro just FYI.
