Hi there!
A month ago MechaNika was greenlit on Steam and now it has been released for PC and Mac. YAY!
For those who don't know about the game, MechaNika is the first episode of what we call the Psychotic Adventures, games that take place in the Psychotic world. This first episode features Nika, a smart 7 year old girl that doesn't like this world, so she wants to destroy it. A charming girl, isn't she? She has a plan to achieve her goal: a massive destruction weapon called MechaNika, but first she needs to find the remaining components so she can complete and assemble her invention. You will join her in her quest to find these components while you meet more Psychotic characters, like Marcus the meal dealer, Rosemary the almost blind and deaf video game addict granny, and Agatha the Carnivorist.
We won't tell you anymore because we want you to play the game and discover the story with all the details we've put in it. We hope you really enjoy it! We'd like to know what you think about it, what you love, what you hate, your favorite character, anything you'd change to improve the game, etc. We are already working on new Psychotic Adventures, so your feedback is really important to us.
By the way, we know that many people don't like the font that is depicted in the launch trailer and in the screenshots. Don't panic! You can choose a different font, more readable, if you want. Check it out in this video.
And one last note: bear in mind that MechaNika is not a game for kids, not because it has a cartoon pussy on it or because Nika takes a swig of her cognac and cocoa shake when she needs to see things clearer, but because they won't probably understand the story or the jokes. Despite its naïve visuals, the game exposes some adult themes, always from a fun perspective, of course.
And... that's it! Nothing more to say. So thanks for your support and don't hesitate to post any comment, review or doubt you have on the community hub. Have fun!

THE MANIFESTO
Project MechaNika. Plan for the destruction of all things that aren't awesome.
I, Nika Allen, 7 years old, am sick to death of this world. My parents don't care about me. My brother never takes any notice of me. At school I never get taught anything useful. There are loads of things that shouldn't exist. It's for these reasons that I've decided to destroy everything that isn't cool. With MechaNika I will destroy and eliminate the things and the people that I don't like. I'll start at home. Then school. This city. The entire world. I'll get rid of everything that's boring and pointless, and this world will be better for it.
If it's not cool, it will disappear. If you're not cool, hide. MechaNika is here.
THE GAME
In MechaNika, the first Psychotic adventure, you will meet Nika, an intelligent girl that doesn’t fit the world in which she lives. Perhaps it’s the chocolate shake with a shot of cognac which she carries in her backpack which makes her different. Or maybe it’s the fact that at 7 years old her favourite things are the transfer of energy, magnetic fields and electrical engineering! But being the odd one out doesn’t matter to Nika. Not anymore. She has a plan to solve everything. A really… odd plan. You read the MechaNika manifesto, right?
THE PSYCHOTIC ADVENTURES
As you help Nika in her mission to build a rusty weapon of mass destruction to destroy her world you will meet many unique characters. We want you to discover the freak stories of some of these characters and we will let you know about them through the Psychotic Adventures, a series of genre-spanning games that starts with MechaNika.
We hope you enjoy this first adventure and all that is to come! Thanks for your support!
