The Company Game By: gary gogis (Chain Reaction Games) Update: The winners have been drawn and sent their codes. Thanks for entering! The Company Game is a new puzzle game by Chain Reaction Games that's releasing September 6. It's sort of a cross between The Guides and Blackbox, as I mentioned here in my preview of it. The puzzles involve cracking codes, playing with your device's settings, and interpreting Morse code. There's…
Valleys Between By: Little Lost Fox Without knowing anything at all about the gameplay, I'd been looking forward to Little Lost Fox's Valleys Between for quite some time. I mean, grab a peek at any of their screenshots and it's not hard to see why. The art style and coloring are reminiscent of Alto's Odyssey, though it's an endless grid-based puzzler instead of a runner. My first few games with it were…
Unavowed By: Wadjet Eye Games I hope my regular readers will forgive me for once again covering a PC game, but I enjoyed Unavowed so much that I asked Dave Gilbert, the man behind Wadjet Eye Games, to sit down and discuss it with me. We covered a ton, but I'm cutting it down to the highlights both for your sanity and mine. There are some spoilers throughout, both big and small,…
Donut County By: Annapurna Interactive Donut County is the latest Annapurna-published game. It's developed by Ben Esposito and you play a hole in the ground that swallows everything in its path. It's not a difficult game, but some puzzles can be a bit tricky, so I'll help you out. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section. Levels 1 - 6 | Levels 7 - 14 |Levels 15 -…
Dissembler By: Ian MacLarty Ian MacLarty's colorful puzzler, Dissembler, is one of those games that I hadn't heard of before and didn't grab me from its screenshots, but I gave it a shot anyway since I was sent a code. It ended up being one of my favorite games, and a Game of the Year contender for 2018. I reviewed it back when it released earlier this year, and since then I've…
Donut County By: Annapurna Interactive (Ben Esposito) I didn't really know what to expect from Donut County when I first heard it announced, but being published by Annapurna Interactive was already a good sign for me. They've published such games as the masterpiece, Gorogoa, the iOS port of Flower, and short but sweet Florence. I knew anything from them would at the very least be unique. Combine that with the odd premise…

Unavowed By: Wadjet Eye Games If you've been following this site for a while, you probably know by now that I have an aversion to computers. It wasn't always like that, but once I got used to typing on an iPhone and iPad, I could never go back to being chained to a desk. I still use a PC when I have to, but with an endless backlog of games on my…
