🌍️ Wikipedia:

Vessel is a physics-based, steampunk puzzle-platform video game, developed by Strange Loop Games and published by indiePub. It was released March 1, 2012 for Microsoft Windows, for Linux on December 10, 2012 and for PlayStation 3 on March 11, 2014. A Mac OS X version is in development.

Plot

The main character of Vessel is M. Arkwright, an inventor who creates a liquid-composed labor-performing automaton, called the Fluro. He creates this automaton in order to perform laborious tasks more efficiently than human beings. However, the Fluros begin to run amok, and cause the world's machinery to malfunction.

In order to restore the machinery back to a functioning status, Arkwright must travel through the world of Vessel and fix the broken parts. In addition to creating the Fluro automaton, he creates Seeds, which are small devices that allow him to control an area's surrounding liquid and transform it into a Fluro. This newly created Fluro can then be used to fix the machinery by influencing it on where to go and what to do.

Gameplay

Vessel is a puzzle-platformer that teaches and reveals its mechanics as the player progresses through the game. Using many different forms of liquid, such as water or lava, the player creates Fluros to do things such as activate switches, move cogs, and pull levers. The player can also use M. Arkwright's liquid gun to spray fluid at switches that need to be activated. For areas that the player can't reach, they can create a Fluro from the available liquid in the world's level, and have the newly created automaton go there.

As the Fluros are automatons, they have their own habits and abilities. Some are attracted to light, and others dark. Considerations like these are key to progressing through a level, as the player must influence the Fluros to do what they would like.

The level design of Vessel grants the player freedom in how to solve a particular puzzle. Each one has multiple solutions, and it is up to the player's choices and creativity as to how to solve it.
