There's currently four 'full-length' episodes, and a couple of shorts, which appear to have reached a satisfactory conclusion for their story. So then I went back to play his more famous Submachine games from the beginning. The two episodes appear to be only the beginning of a larger story, with part 2 - Station On The Horizon - coming out only last week. It's very much based on what I soon realised was Skutnik's trademark style - machine-based puzzles, and foraging point-n-click exploration. Fantastically atmospheric, the scratchy, hand-drawn Flash design betrays his architectural skill, creating an excellent cartoon space in which to unravel the peculiar narrative. I began with his most recent story, Covert Front - a tale about being a behind-the-scenes agent during the Second World War, investigating a deep mystery about some manner of experiments being carried out by the Nazis. It's the latter that's caused him to garner a lot of the internet's attention - attention I somehow hadn't paid beyond playing his intriguing DayMare Town a few months back. Skutnik is a former architect, turned Flash animator, who spends his spare time either painting watercolour graphic novels, or designing episodic Flash adventures. It is, however, a description of what I spent half of yesterday playing.
