About this game
Machinarium is a single-player point-and-click adventure game set in a decaying mechanical city populated entirely by robots.
The player controls a small robot named Josef, who has been dismantled and discarded on a scrap heap outside the city.

After reassembling himself, he sets out to return home, confront the Black Cap Brotherhood gang that torments other robots, and rescue his kidnapped companion.
The game unfolds through a series of static, hand-drawn screens that are navigated by pointing and clicking.
Players interact with objects in the environment to solve puzzles, gather items into an inventory, and combine them to progress.
Josef’s abilities include extending or contracting his body to reach different areas, a mechanic often required to complete environmental challenges.
Communication is presented visually: instead of written dialogue, characters use animated speech bubbles that convey thoughts and goals through small illustrations.
Puzzles range from traditional inventory-based tasks to stand-alone logic problems, such as manipulating switches, aligning circuits, or solving sliding-tile boards.
Many screens contain layered solutions, requiring the player to observe patterns and test interactions carefully.
Unlike many adventure games, there are no fail states or deaths, allowing players to experiment freely.
To assist with difficult puzzles, the game includes two forms of optional help.
A hint system provides a single visual clue per screen.
For full solutions, players can access a walkthrough presented as a sketchbook, but doing so requires completing a short side-scrolling shooter mini-game, preventing players from consulting it too easily.
As the game progresses, players move from single-screen challenges into a more open structure with multiple interconnected areas available at once.
The Definitive Version and later ports refined the experience with updated visuals, higher-resolution support, improved touch and controller interfaces, and performance
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Machinarium for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Machinarium to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2009.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Machinarium, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
