Three years ago, FLAT EYE was released. It's one of most complex games I worked on and while it was underwhelming for… reasons, it had one in-game ad I loved working on with the team.
The ad showed Prometheus and "his" eagle happily using a neutron energy pump. (don't mind the placeholder text)

I played the free version and it was great; excellent to see it reaching a full release. Well worth a go if you like puzzle narratives
Seven days into 2025 and I've already played what I suspect will be one of my favorite games of the year: The Roottrees Are Dead, a narrative logic deduction game (à la Obra Dinn) that has you searching for clues to unravel the dramatic story of a rich family store.steampowered.com/app/2754380/...
The Roottrees are Dead on Steam
A genealogical mystery straight out of 1998. Scour the early Internet for clues, uncover hidden connections, and piece together the family tree behind the secretive Roottree Corporation.
