Semblature: A Deduction Game

A deduction game about semblatures

Semblature: A Deduction Game is a PC puzzle game about running a shop that diagnoses and repairs magical assemblies called semblatures. Each unit displays a statement and a light indicating whether that statement is currently true, but damage and a creature called a Shade can make those clues misleading.

You work at a magical workbench, using the data it provides to decide which units are working or broken, and which are hosting a Shade or clear. Broken units display the opposite of their real condition, so a broken unit’s statement reads false when it’s in the correct position. A hosted unit’s statement is accurate, but its light shows the reverse. Every unit looks the same from the outside, so you have to reason from the statements and the workbench’s clues.
