I've been working on a puzzle game inspired by The Witness but instead of panels and wires every puzzle is a cluster of cryptic buttons... 😶🌫️
If you're curious - I have a demo out on Steam:

I'm putting in lots of effort to make my puzzle game 'feel' intriguing – the architecture, the art, the audio... I hope it'll be appreciated 🙃

Added crouch and zoom to my puzzle game! 🧩
Crouch was the most requested feature from a recent play-test session. It completely opens up the line of sight and lets the player approach puzzles (and buttons) from new angles.
