Storyteller, puzzle game about building stories that took 15 years to make is OUT store.steampowered.com/app/1…
Storyteller is getting a HUGE update for Steam on November 17
We spent two years working adding pirates, frankenstein, hansel & gretel, a genie and a dragon.
But we also did something reckless: we revised the whole game, start to finish.

regarding the Switch update: @A_i will be in charge of that so direct questions to them!

Order of the Sinking Star has been out for a week now, so I decided to run some stats on Steam where it's easy.
The Witness was our previous game that was very successful when launched 10 years ago. Order has sold 45% more units on Steam in its first week than Witness did.
Order is 25% cheaper (Witness was $40, Order is $30 with some bundle discounts, and there's been some inflation), so you would expect more units at the lower price. But regardless, it looks at least as financially successful as the Witness was, maybe a little more eventually, depending on how the tail goes.
Thanks everyone for supporting the game, and I'm glad you are enjoying it!
This is the most ambitious puzzle games ever built.
It took 10 years to make.
It's size is staggering and every puzzle is a gem that has been polished by some of the best designers alive.
It's the Manhattan Project of block pushing games.

I'm looking for work!
I love technical challenges and got a deep artistic sense, enjoy stunning folks with visuals AND coding efficiently.
Worked on games, XR and immersive art, but especially interested in museum displays, music videos, science education.
DM me! Love to chat.

Roguelike minesweeper game mentioned here is called Dragonsweeper. It’s made by a legend @danielben!
It’s available for free on itch io (it’s a web version) so highly accessible! The trick is to carefully observe the board after you fail and spot the patterns!

I want to apologize for all the unread and unanswered DMs on this platform but last November it started asking me to do some passcode thing so I ignored my inbox until today

This 2025 Dragonsweeper was born and was already played more than 2 million times! It felt amazing to ship a new game, since it was a while since I did so.
