Submachine Comic Book tells the story within the universe of games of the same name. For at least 10 years players of my games have been asking for such comic book. Finally, in 2025 I came up with a good story for it and I’m ready to merge two facets of my creative output: Submachine and comic books.

It will be hand-painted by me using watercolors and ink. Hence, this project will generate real comic book pages, which you can get as add-ons while pledging your support.

What is Submachine?

Submachine is a worldwide known series of games. Its latest iteration, Submachine Legacy currently sits at comfortable Overwhelmingly Positive review score with 98% positive reviews on Steam.

What’s the story?

Due to the nature of Submachine games, there are rarely opportunities to show the bigger scope of large Submachine structures, its grand design and mega-structures. In games we’re spending most of our time being trapped inside the structure. This book gives me an opportunity to show you what’s on the outside. To pull the camera back and look at the big picture.

This book explores different eras of Submachine and adds plenty to the lore of its world. We will be following few completely different characters and their stories might intersect, even if separated by centuries. Lifespan of a human being is nothing compared to longevity of the machine itself.

Although the story is mostly complete, I can’t say more about it, due to spoilers. This is a very sensitive matter, as players of my games always insisted on jumping in blind into my games without knowing literally anything about its story or puzzles.I feel this also applies to this comic book.
