If you're a fan of deep secrets I genuinely think you'll love to explore the world of Nonolith; the things you learn aren't just one-off gimmicks, but whole new systems you didn't realise were there.

We've got a free demo with way too much to discover linked in replies

I wanted to make a 'List' (yeah, that's a thing) here on Bluesky, with puzzle streamers and video creators without presence on Bluesky, but it turns out that Lists are not what I thought they were. 😩

Fret not, I'll have a solution for it Soon™ again.
Added @turianshepard.bsky.social and @william-where.bsky.social to the starter pack. If you need a) a source of puzzle entertainment; or b) your puzzle game showcased, this list will make your day 😊 Check them out!

Soon™ I'll make a more comprehensive list with creators NOT on Bluesky! 💙

I don't use the word "hidden gem" often, but Chroma Zero is exactly that.

Genius, unique, rewarding. Crazy how many things are packed in a game that you can basically see in its entirety from the spawn point.

I was about to defeat the meme and finally buy and play Baba is you, but I took a wrong turn somewhere and got #IslesOfSeaAndSky instead 🤷🏼‍♂️ Regretting nothing so far.

The meme lives. The fight continues.
Isles of Sea and Sky is now 70% off on Steam and Itch until January 5 during the Winter Sale! Now is the best time to play the Mysterious Update!

I don't think these guys have a Bluesky account, so I'll share this with you in their behalf.

Observe is a 2D (top-down) logic game where your actions to solve a puzzle are recorded and become part of the following puzzles.
