Kelvin and the Infamous Machine Minimal-Spoilers Walkthrough
By lake.kubilius
I usually preface my walkthroughs with a little blurb about how I think you shouldn't read them, but not this time. I got stuck on this game repeatedly, and I completely sympathize with why you're probably here! Still though, heavy walkthrough use can really ruin the fun of a game, and I suggest you not overdo it.

This guide is written to be as short and spoiler-free as possible. That's how I like my walkthroughs. People occasionally look at them and assume the game is tiny. Please don't do that. If you're reading a walkthrough before you've even bought the game, I think you've got things all backwards.

Hey man, be blessed for providing this guide. Helped me finish this cool game. I am stuck too fast and lose patience. Thanks for your work. PS: sorry I must admit I check if a guide exists before I start a point and click.

For the achievement from the bartender I had to have the speech setting on "automatic," NOT "manual." I played that game quite a few times before I came across the reason why I couldn't get it, and changed the setting!...Also the cocktail drink can be poured out in the trash can instead of going all the way back to the rain gutter. Thanks for making the walk through- it helped a lot!

Perfect walkthrough! It's nice because you can use it when you're just stuck and figure the rest out for yourself. Thank you for the time you put into this. :)
