Moncage
Moncage is a cute puzzle and story game where you explore a world inside a cube. The twist though is that some parts of the cube can interact with other parts when you look from a certain angle. Each face of the cube is its own perspective on the world inside, and while the scenes…

Taiji
Ever since I finished The Witness for the first time back in 2017, I’ve been looking for a puzzle game that follows that same formula, and this year I found it with Taiji. Instead of being a first person puzzle game about completing puzzle panels where you fill in the edges, this is a top-down…

The Room
Yet another bundle of games, each with the same premise and controls. The Room is a series of point & click puzzle games with an overarching plot told through notes left behind by the people you’re trying to track down. The series starts off simple enough, you start with a box, and you have to…

Filament
This is a brutally hard puzzle game, where the main mechanic involves controlling a small robot to wrap wires around pylons to open the exit. There are a dozen or so puzzle mechanics, which are each isolated to one set of puzzles, and introduced at the start of the set. Solving puzzles gives you more…

Example Block Game
Now I have to come clean on this one, the developer of this game is literally my IRL partner, who makes games to keep herself from going insane. She has a lot of experience with various tetris games, including ones that very few people have ever heard of, and she’s made a few games in…

The Looker
If you didn’t like The Witness, you’ll absolutely love The Looker. This is a parody game by one dude, who just wanted to make something really funny and frankly they did a great job at it. The objective here is the same as The Witness: Draw a line from the start to the end. Unlike…

The Witness
This is a hard one to recommend because it takes a certain type of person to enjoy the concept of this game. You’re dropped in a world devoid of life but full of puzzles, with no direction other than the controls. Move to the door, click to open solving mode, draw a line from the…

hexceed
This is a logic puzzle like hexagonal Minesweeper, but with a few extra mechanics, like red arrows that indicate mines in the direction(s) of the arrow(s), or green numbers that indicate mines within 2 tiles of the number instead of just directly adjacent. You can click on a hint to highlight what that hint refers…

Fox game fox game fox game. So in this game you play as a fox, and this makes me happy because I like foxes, foxes are the best little critters, and I may or may not be a fox irl writing game reviews by bashing my pointy snoot against the keyboard. That being said: Steam:…

INFRA
Yet another one that I was recommended by a YouTuber I follow, but this time it was Real Civil Engineer. I got about 3 videos into the playlist before I stopped and went to play it myself, and I’m glad I did. The game surprisingly has a very intriguing plot, which is not something you’d…
