Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a charming and silly mystery with some light puzzley detective work that’s the perfect length to play in a single cosy evening.
Amongst all the May mayhem, we saw the release of the Thinky Awards‘ Most Anticipated Game, Isles of Sea and Sky, together with many other massively hyped games like secret-filled metroidvania ANIMAL WELL, the enigmatic Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and the word-based dungeon crawler Cryptmaster.
To celebrate the game's 5th anniversary, Outer Wilds designer Alex Beachum shared the original 2014 prototype version where he first mapped out the game's story and mystery.
Cryptmaster treats language with the same reverence and excitement that most RPGs treat loot, gold, and murder.
Isles of Sea and Sky is a treat. Its pursuit of a single idea to its absolute extreme is wonderful to watch unfold.
If you come for the brainteasers, rest easy, as this is a puzzle box of grand and devious proportions.
