Puzzles, when well done and integrated, are a great way to engage the player in the story, they force you to stay focused and to get in the shoes of the protagonists (and the authors) instead of experiencing the story in a more passive way. More payoff (yeah, dopamine!) and more empathy ensues.
Happy Birthday April Ryan! April was named after a month of her birth. The start of spring and the season of new beginnings. It's spring again and we want to take a moment to celebrate the girl who started it all. The very first protagonist of the series back in 1999.
Times flies! So many memories with April.
World Premiere! Graveyard Keeper 2 is coming in 2026, with zombies this time! And to celebrate its sequel, the first Graveyard Keeper will be available for free for a limited time.

Working on Eastshade was a very special project. Whether we'll have the pleasure of collaborating again with Danny on this game is uncertain, but please do check out the demo and wishlist their new game if you like what you see. It looks once again pretty unique.
Well put. I guess that's why I love point-and-click games and don't really care for RPGs.
Merci pour la proposition, mais j'ai déjà ! 😀
Time to wishlist if you haven't done so yet.

Bien sûr, pas de problème !
Au cas où... On l'a pas mal fait à une époque, surtout sur du point & click. Mais on a moins le temps depuis qu'on est parents. Depuis quelques années, ladite progéniture prend le relai pour des jeux en coop (Unrailed, WIld Woods, Moving Out, Rayman Legends, Diner Bros, Fling to the Finish...).
Oui, c'était chouette Sacrifice, Shiny Entertainment qui s'essayait au RTS. Mais il n'avait pas réussi à tirer son épingle du jeu dans la nuée de RTS sortis à cette époque.

I have a few of them too! :)
Un redressement judiciare, c'est une problématique assez simple : en 18 mois, faire baisser les coûts et dépenses de manière drastique, et faire rentrer du cash en parallèle pour retrouver une situation financière viable. La vente de filiales / studios / marques est donc en phase avec cette logique.
To celebrate the AI bubble bursting, we are releasing WEDNESDAYS, a game made by humans, for FREE on iOs and Android TODAY.

Excellents souvenirs de travail avec la formidable équipe de Mimimi. Espérons que ce portage ouvrira la porte à des versions Switch 2 de l'extension indépendante Aiko's Choice, ainsi que de l'incroyable Shadow Gambit.
If you can afford it financially, you should keep on supporting the game and judge things in the long run. Cosy games, like narrative games, are usually long sellers. Keep the faith!
Not sure what kind of sales figures you were expecting, but 111 Steam reviews in two months, for an indie game in Early Access, available in only one language, doesn't look like failure to me. There is a stigma against Early Access, with many EA games in the past that never got properly finished.
La BO fait toujours partie des musiques que j'écoute régulièrement pour bosser. Epique, lyrique, atmosphérique, il y a tout ce qui faut là-dedans.
Believe it or not, a WHOLE year has passed since ASYLUM was launched, so we posted a lengthy Steam update with things you can look forward to, as well as a nice discount: steamcommunity.com/games/asylum...
It's a great time to either revisit or visit Hanwell for the first time. Enjoy the read! 👋
I have a feeling that, at the time, what seemed like an endless stream of poor Myst-like clones got purists annoyed more than the actual game. Like if the game was deemed guilty of creating a boring subgenre.
Woohoo! Glad to hear that. 🥰 Thanks for letting us know. 👍And nice to see you on Bluesky! 😁

Then you're in for a treat, there are many gorgeous scenes throughout the game.
The more I see about Hello Sunshine, the more excited I get for this game.
Pillars of the Earth is a superb game.
We started translating point & click games in 2001 with the first Runaway, and have translated many other in the following years, including all the Pendulo games, A Vampyre Story, Gray Matter, Tales of Monkey Island, Deponia... PnC games were not as popular than in the 90s, but far from dead indeed.
Pas vraiment d'infos sur le sujet pour le coup. On n'a pas beaucoup mis les pieds en studio récemment, et donc pas eu l'occasion d'en parler avec les comédiens. Mais c'est une excellente idée d'article.
It's a cute and funny point & click game, with one major drawback: the ending leaves you hanging in the middle of the story. So that long-awaited sequel will be very welcome.
Revive wooden scenes piece by piece and let them bloom with color and life!
Woodo from @daedalic.bsky.social is a cozy diorama puzzle game, coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch this summer. #IndieWorld
I would happily throw my money at this.
A most excellent boardgame!
