Submachine 9: The Temple
Description
The Submachine series consists of ten games which develop the main storyline and four spin-offs. In the games the player explores a mysterious world full of collapsed structures and strange devices and has to find a way further or out.
Submachine 9: the Temple is the penultimate chapter of the Submachine series and at that time the longest game of the whole main series.
It begins on the other side of the gate which the player entered in the final scene of Submachine 8 and from this area we enter the eponymous temple. The game is thus very rich in cultural influences - mostly Hindu, but also for example Egyptian (the pyramid construction, scarab, mummies).
Submachine 9 is the last major twist in the tale. In a way it undoes the doubts about Murtaugh's intentions which started in Submachine 6, by presenting an alternative, much more benign explanation of Murtaugh's actions. From this new perspective, the conflict involving him, his former followers and Elizabeth wasn't really his fault.
