story5 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Interesting and unique premise combining themes of alcoholism, family abuse, and mascot horror.
  • Strong atmosphere that is more sad and emotional than scary, with good narrative and voice acting.
  • Short and accessible free indie game with some charming and thoughtful storytelling elements.
  • Clunky gameplay with frustratingly slow walking speed and imprecise item interactions.
  • No save or checkpoint system leading to frustrating restarts and potential softlocks or glitches.
  • Pacing issues with tedious fetch quests and unskippable, slow sequences that sometimes harm the experience.

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 11% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The story is generally praised for its dark, atmospheric, and emotionally engaging narrative centered on a father and son, with some players finding it interesting and occasionally humorous. However, the story is short, mostly linear with limited choices, and at times considered bland or uneventful by some. Overall, it offers a concise but impactful experience.

    • “This game is at its best when dealing with the story of the kid, his dad, and their situation.”
    • “Short but story rich and kinda funny at times, I enjoyed it!”
    • “Nice creepy atmosphere and good story.”
    • “The game consists mostly of beer-getting missions for the alcoholic father and flashback dreams.”
    • “There was only one mission that allowed you to choose one of two alternative paths, which however led to the same result.”
    • “Short, lots of walking, kinda bland story, just okay.”

  • humor

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is a mix of dark comedy and quirky, sometimes unintentional funny moments, often delivered through surreal dream sequences and cartoonish elements. While generally entertaining and amusing, some players experienced frustration due to gameplay issues that impacted their enjoyment. Overall, the humor adds a unique, if occasionally uneven, charm to the story.

    • “In-between each beer-fetching segment, there are dream sequences with some pretty funny YouTube Poop-esque mascot horror cartoons the kid watches, and flashbacks to their life before living alone with their dad, as well as chase sequences with one of the characters from that cartoon.”
    • “I don't think this really brings it down though, and they're kind of funny sometimes, much like the dark comedy cartoon itself.”
    • “Short but story rich and kinda funny at times, I enjoyed it!”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, being generally described as comparable to typical indie horror games with an awesome and unsettling art style that enhances the atmosphere. While visuals can make object-finding tricky and are not particularly outstanding, they effectively contribute to the game's eerie mood.

    • “The graphics and style are really great, and the voice acting is terrifying at times. The one guy who asks you to deliver a package is unbelievably worrying.”
    • “The jumpscare/horror aspects don't quite land, but the graphics give it an unsettling edge that makes up for it.”
    • “Awesome art style.”
    • “With graphics like these, finding objects is a bit tricky, but that's fine.”
    • “The visuals are also nothing special, but comparable to a lot of other indie horror games.”
    • “The jumpscare/horror aspects don't quite land, the graphics give it an unsettling edge that makes up for it.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The gameplay primarily involves repetitive object-hunting tasks, such as fetching beer in confined environments, which many find unengaging. However, certain unique elements, like an in-game drawing segment and more dynamic late-game sequences, offer surprising moments of enjoyment. Overall, the gameplay feels limited and lacks variety to keep players consistently engaged.

    • “The gameplay consists of fetching beer for your dad, which you try to find in every nook and cranny.”
    • “There isn't much gameplay here, but there are some touches that actually surprised me, namely a segment where you get to draw a picture with in-game tools that felt pretty good to use.”
    • “There isn't much gameplay here; you're mostly walking around this hellhole trailer getting beers for your father, or wandering the trailer park doing the same. However, there are some touches that surprised me, like a segment where you get to draw a picture with in-game tools that felt pretty good to use.”
    • “That being said, the gameplay unfortunately holds Beer Machine back.”
    • “The early object-hunting gameplay sections are not very fun, but it's worth pushing through them; the cutscenes and last couple gameplay sequences are where this really shines.”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is widely praised for being thoughtfully crafted, predominantly sad and creepy rather than outright scary, with a strong emphasis on atmospheric horror over jump scares. Players appreciate the game's mood and thematic depth, noting subtle details that enhance the immersive experience. Overall, the atmosphere effectively supports the game's eerie and melancholic tone.

    • “So everything I said still stands as in it's cool, atmospheric, more sad than scary but in a good way, etc. I keep thinking about it and there's little things in the game I'm remembering and noticing that elevate it and show the devs were thoughtfully pacing and structuring this.”
    • “More sad than scary, but still pretty dang atmospheric and creepy at times.”
    • “Beer Machine consists mostly of atmospheric horror and rarely uses jumpscares to create a threatening atmosphere.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from multiple glitches that negatively impact its overall stability, resulting in a disrupted experience despite its short duration.

    • “The game might only be around 30 minutes long, but unfortunately there are a couple of glitches present.”
    • “The pacing overall isn’t good and there are too many glitches present.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding in the game is excessively tedious, requiring players to complete extensive sections in one sitting, which many find frustrating and leads to abandoning the game.

    • “Turns out you have to beat it all in one go and because of how tedious what I had already played through had been, I just uninstalled it.”

  • emotional
