About the game

Checked 14 October 2026. A short hub so review, cast, and engine notes do not crowd the puzzle pages.

What I checked

I kept this page as a map of the sourced articles. The facts I repeat here are the ones on the official homepage: Thekla, Jonathan Blow, Arc Games, four source games, and a 2026 release.

The sourced summary

Thekla, Inc. developed it. Jonathan Blow directed it. Arc Games publishes it, with Gamirror Games also listed on Steam. It is his third major puzzle game after Braid (2008) and The Witness (2016). It shipped on 8 October 2026.

Design contributors named on the official site include Alan Hazelden, Sean Barrett, Jonah Ostroff, Patrick Traynor, Zach Polansky, and Marc ten Bosch. Those names match the four source worlds.

Questions
