Homo Machina uses a muted, warm color palette that reflects Kahn's own work. Tapping around the imagery is a delight in itself, as it's both the only way to figure out what to do next and a way to explore the intricate artwork and metaphorical imagery.
The eye, for example, is seen as a camera, with a large sheet of film that must be loaded into the rear of the orb immediately upon opening the eyelid, which slides upward on a rotating hinge like a big breadbox or rolltop desk.
What struck me the most about Homo Machina was the pure, calm joy I felt while playing it. There's a gentle narrative that helps guide you through the game, but there's no real pressure to solve any of the environmental puzzles inside a time limit. You can explore the beautiful artwork and cute little animations at your leisure. The music is whimsical, which fits the tone of the entire game; all the little faceless but charming characters go about their work in the fictional body with aplomb.

We have be exhausted at the end, so let's make it last forever. With the workday complete, players head into the leisure portion of the game, where the game explores what happens as we enjoy a piece of music or how the heart the body reacts as the protagonist prepares for his date.
All said and done, game can be completed within one or two hours and though some have criticized it for being too short , a brief, but memorable encounter is exactly what the developers had in mind.
