Hey there everyone, it’s been a year since I started streaming! So on this very special episode of Nostalgia Nation, instead of playing an old game I’ve played before, I instead went back to my very first stream where I played puzzle game The Witness, and instead play a game in the style that I thought I was getting with it: The Turing Test.
This is the first of two streams for this game, I intended to play the whole thing in one session, but I got slightly sidetracked by some optional objectives and it ended up taking longer than anticipated. I get to grips with out protagonist, Ava Turing, as she is awoken on a space station near Europa to go down to the moon to find the rest of her team, who have gone missing. I take a shuttle down the surface, and I enter the testing gauntlet, and I begin to find out the secrets and mysteries behind what’s going on.
Until next time…buh-bye!
About The Turing Test
The Turing Test is a first person puzzle game developed by Bulkhead Interactive and released by Square Enix for Xbox One and Windows PC formats in 2016 through the Square Enix Collective scheme. The game later saw releases in other formats, including PlayStation 4, the version of the game I play in the stream. In Turing Test, players take control of Ava Turing, an engineer on a scientific expedition to the Jupiter moon Europa, as she is brought out of cryogenic sleep by T.O.M (Technical Operations Machine), the AI in control of the facility used by the team (who have now gone missing).
Armed with an Energy Manipulation Tool (EMT), a gun that allows Ava to absorb balls of energy and shoot them into other sockets, the engineer must work her way through the mysteriously-redesigned moon base, which has become a gauntlet of creative thinking puzzles that T.O.M can’t navigate himself, being too logical to solve them. What happened to the team, and why was the moon base changed to prevent access to others?
