is it a puzzle game? sort of!
is it a turn-based tactics game? maybe!

should we have been allowed in @puzzleshowcase.bsky.social? find out in the demo on Steam!

~4 years in the making, we've just put a demo out!

mostly made by 2 people, we've put a lot of love into this and I think made something unique

so excited for people to try it!

had such a nice time at A MAZE Berlin last week - the kind of games festival where you'll get used to seeing things like staff carrying around giant inflatable flamingos.

thanks to everyone who played and chatted to us about @thewakingknot.com - was a blast

thanks to @thinkygames.com and @electrondance.bsky.social, we were interviewed about @thewakingknot.com, our unusual turn-based game about improvising in chaos (from 1:29) alongside other thinky things at WASD

watch me and bill find out how hard our game is to talk about in real time!

been working on a fun little intro idea for The Waking Knot with lots of interactive particles - trying to create a sense of fluidity between screens. this is what the game looks like on first start-up at the moment...

Hi! I've been making a psychedelic tactics game about improvising creative manoeuvres.

It's all about acting on instinct and the action syncs to the beat of a great soundtrack by Torom.
