Infernal Machine: Dawn of Submarine Warfare
Infernal Machine: Dawn of Submarine Warfare is a richly thematic solitaire game that places you in the role of an inventor-entrepreneur during the American Civil War, racing to design, build, and deploy one of history’s earliest submarines.
Across standalone scenarios or a full campaign, you’ll establish your workshop, secure funding from investors, and oversee every aspect of your “Fishboat” — from its hull design to its propulsion and weapon systems. Every choice matters: will you prioritise speed, durability, or offensive capability? Will your vessel rely on human power, or risk the complexity of early engines?
Construction is only the beginning. You’ll recruit and manage a crew of mechanics, journeymen, and sailors, balancing skills such as engineering, morale, and strength. Meanwhile, the shifting pressures of wartime — fluctuating costs, unpredictable events, and public scrutiny — will constantly challenge your plans, sometimes forcing you into risky, premature launches.
Once at sea, missions range from cautious test dives to high-stakes operations against enemy targets. Whether laying mines, delivering spies, or attempting daring attacks, each sortie is fraught with danger — mechanical failure, crew panic, or catastrophic miscalculation can all spell disaster.
Blending design, resource management, and tense mission resolution, Infernal Machine offers a deeply immersive solo experience where innovation, secrecy, and nerve determine success… or consign your crew to the depths.
