Automaton Lung

About

Automaton Lung is a puzzle platformer where you navigate a surreal, mechanical world using skating, shooting, and flight. The game drops you into a barren landscape with minimal guidance, forcing you to experiment with movement and environment to progress. Each area requires quick thinking and lateral problem solving as you uncover secrets hidden in its 3D environments. The focus is on fluid traversal and discovering how spaces connect rather than combat or story. The game’s biggest hook is its use of stereoscopic 3D, which adds depth to exploration and puzzle design. While not essential to play on 3DS, the effect enhances environmental storytelling and spatial challenges. Players report around 8, 10 hours of core exploration with plenty of optional content, matching its 82/100 Metacritic score. Steam users highlight the satisfying "aha" moments as a standout, though some find the sparse hints frustrating.
