One of our favorite designers working in the space of paper puzzles has just released a big new project that has been in development for a long time: HERD is a puzzle-book-boardgame bearing the signature style of Blaž Urban Gracar.
Announced this week from indie publisher Critical Reflex, Inkblood has a gothic, foreboding and old-world feel. The stunning illustrated style renders all kinds of gruesome crimes and rituals you'll need to pick apart in your role as an Inquisitor.
It's very exciting to finally be able to share: Thinky Dailies are our very own daily puzzles that will premiere on the site once a day, featuring charming illustrations, a big variety of puzzle types, and playable on mobile or desktop browser.
The community has made lots of tiny puzzle surprises, and they're being curated and released one at a time for you to enjoy on The Confounding Calendar homepage. It's all on the web and totally free.
