It is also not a long experience, but one you will hopefully want to return to.<br><br><strong>A Word from Designer Johnnemann Nordhagen</strong><br><br>As a game designer, you often find yourself doing research on how other games do things - it's a good way to get ideas, see what works and what doesn't, and build an understanding of the space you're solving problems in. Usually this research involves buying a lot of games and playing until you get to the part you want to see, if you can remember the games that have it! <br><br>How nice it would be, I thought, if someone collected all the reference for particular ways of doing things in one place. Thus was born the Museum of Mechanics, and the first entry: Lockpicking. Many genres and types of games include lockpicking minigames, so I thought I would do an exploration of a broad swathe of them and gather them together in a single place. This is the result. I hope you'll join me in exploring the different ways this has been done through the history of games.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1735110/extras/63e553eb29d354c80080e84895772e42.poster.avif?t=1642096834" width=800 height=448 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1735110/extras/63e553eb29d354c80080e84895772e42.webm?t=1642096834" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1735110/extras/63e553eb29d354c80080e84895772e42.mp4?t=1642096834" type="video/mp4"></video></span>
