Mother Machine is a cooperative roguelike platformer / action role-playing video game developed and published by Maschinen-Mensch.

About

Climb, jump, and explore alien caves full of emergent surprises in this one-to-four-player cooperative action RPG platformer. Customize your cute chaos gremlin with a never-ending appetite for adventure and mayhem! Unlock a vast range of mutations to choose your preferred playstyle and role in a group.

Set thousand years in the future, Mother Machine takes place on a distant planet once colonized by humans but now almost entirely devoid of life. Abandoned by her creators, an immensely powerful Artificial Intelligence slowly teaches herself to create new life in the form of the chaos gremlins, becoming a loving “mother” to the strange creatures. She sends her children out to explore, collect, die and be revived at her command—but the further the gremlins venture, the more they find out about the dark secrets of the planet’s history, and the true ambitions of their mechanical mother.
