If you’re in the mood for a cozy, handcrafted adventure with a dash of digging and a lot of heart, Mashina should be on your radar. From the creators of Judero, this charming stop-motion-style adventure has just dropped a new trailer—and surprise! The release is closer than expected. Mashina officially launches on PC via Steam on July 31, 2025.
Welcome to the World of Mashina
In Mashina, you play as a warm-hearted mining robot (fittingly named Mashina) on a mission to dig up minerals and resources to support and grow her quirky robot community. This isn’t just about digging, though—it’s about connection, creativity, and helping your friends thrive in a delightfully offbeat world.
The game is split between two distinct zones:
-
The Underground – A mysterious, mineral-rich network of tunnels and hidden treasures. Think classic digging gameplay with a few modern twists.
-
The Overground – A vibrant island hub where your robotic pals hang out, hand you missions, help upgrade your gear, and cheer you on as you improve the world around you.
Expect a relaxing but rewarding gameplay loop of exploration, upgrades, and rebuilding a robot community one precious trinket at a time.
