## About The Turing Test

The Turing Test is a 2016 first-person adventure puzzle game developed by BULKHEAD. Set on Jupiter's moon Europa, players assume the role of Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency investigating the disappearance of a ground crew. The gameplay centers on environmental puzzle-solving through camera-and-bot interactions and energy-orb manipulation, with some orbs producing varying effects that players must experiment with. Reviewers highlight that the story unfolds while players maintain control, and philosophical discussions throughout are described by players as meaningful. Players who seek optional secrets will find them rewarding, and the fourth-wall-breaking elements are noted as creative. The game carries an 87% positive rating from over 4,100 Steam reviews and is playable on Steam Deck.
