Machinarium 

Cool puzzle game, which is made in 2009. It’s about robot and his escaping from the abandoned, machine planet. Even through the decade has a very smooth animation and mesmerising soundtrack.

Machinari

A game involving one to seven roles.

Optimizer – The one who maximizes efficiency and gets things running smoothly.

Combat (Mental) – Focused on strategic thinking and mental “fights,” like psychological or intellectual challenges.

Tactician – Plans moves ahead, sees patterns, predicts others’ behavior.

Specialist – Has a niche skill set that’s unique and high-level.

Instigator – Sparks reactions, manipulates situations, or provokes others.

Empath – Reads people’s emotions, senses subtle cues, understands motives.

Watcher/Listener – Observes quietly, gathers information, notices things others miss.

Machinari - Latin translation - "to plan"

The game is more of a type of psychological chess in the way that a person plays one of the roles listed above in day-to-day conversations and activities.

While it can imply manipulation, it often mean ogidni, or a type of "socially acceptable manipulation", with no intentions of malice.

It was/is originally played between two or more people by setting up a false scenario and using real world logic to get to a goal in the conversation.

Machinari is one of the only games you might play on a daily basis and not realize it.
