Welcome to Thinky Third Thursday, curated by Alan Hazelden of Draknek & Friends – a monthly roundup of thinky puzzle games that have caught my eye.
Your House is a mix of text-based adventure and escape room puzzles in a haunting mystery that plays with narrative form and player interaction
Diacritic mixes interactive fiction with satisfying puzzles in the guise of a workplace dystopia. It’s reminiscent of Papers, Please and Severance, but it’s wholly unique.
Another month gone by means another big list of all the thinky games that landed on our radar. Here's our February releases list, including some 2D-3D swapping, a minimal city-builder, a dice-deck-builder, a new Civilization game, a fan expansion for LOK and a whole lot more.
Both new release Ligo and new Rise of the Golden Idol DLC The Sins of New Wells arrive today.

Vextorial is a multi-dimensional puzzle platformer with a chill retro aesthetic and a mysterious narrative. It’s rough around the edges but wholly unique.
Of the 22 puzzle, strategy, and tactics games under UFO 50’s “thinky” tab, these are our favourites.
The makers of SpaceChem, Infinifactory, Opus Magnum, Last Call BBS and more, including Zach Barth himself, are back with a new factory-automation game of programming assembly lines in 1980s Japan.
The mansion construction-exploration game Blue Prince and The Talos Principle: Reawakened have both announced they'll be arriving in early April.
