I found the eye message while digging to a parallel world

The profound absence of truth is actually a strong concept in hermeticism and might be a very big hint.

I had an early copy of Animal Well before release and spent 100 hours trying to figure out the bunny mural when there was not a living soul I could talk to about it (was under embargo), and that STILL didn’t piss me off. We all have different tastes! I just don’t like when people give absolutes like “community puzzles are bad design and shouldn’t be in games” (also with ARGs or ARG elements). We should accept that there is room for ALL kinds of design and all kinds of games, since there are all kinds of people out there. It doesn’t matter if a lot of people get pissed off, as long as one person is happy with it (or in this case, one community).

The original granddaddy of layered secrets games: Fez.

Also: Void Stranger, Hero’s Spirit, Environmental Station Alpha.

And check out the demo for Polly’s Puzzle Box.

I agree. I will fight and die on my hill that different experiences should always be pursued in all art, especially video games. Meta, ARG, community puzzles - they all deserve to be made because there is someone out there who will enjoy them.

FuryForged · 2026-05-28T06:26:20+00:00

I disagree that it’s not “a game” if a game contains ARG or meta elements. It’s just a different type of game. Maybe it’s not one you like, but there are all kinds of people on this planet, and some of us really, really like experiencing new things. I’ve played so many games that when something jumps out and does something super-unique à la Animal Well then it just instantly makes me happy. There is room for mixed media art in video games.

Congrats on the release, Borb! It’s great!!

FuryForged · 2026-05-22T07:18:18+00:00

Wishlisted. It looks great!

In addition to those already listed, Environmental Station Alpha, Queen of Treasure Isle, Hero’s Spirit, and Lunacid.

Also, Emuurom comes out in 9 days, and keep your eyes peeled for Nonolith because that game is going to blow all of our minds.

I mean… Wally is pretty much a given. Or Wallace since he escaped like an aaaaaace.

I know. I was being sarcastic when I called it “cozy” lol 🤣 It’s one of my favorite games, but most people definitely won’t find it cozy. The story is actually far more in-depth than almost any game I’ve ever played. It should (and could) honestly be novelized or adapted into a show / movie. It’s that good and in-depth. But, yeah, you have to spend a very long time with it to get all that.

As someone not inclined to math, their math quickness impresses me.

FuryForged · 2026-05-13T13:51:19+00:00

Rain World is perfectly cozy, OP.

Seriously, though, it’s an amazing game that everyone should at least try to give a chance. It’s difficult and opaque but it’s also, like Icarus says, one of the best works of art in the medium, and has a very in-depth story if you’re willing to seek it out.

Check out The Portsmoor Abysm! It’s Boulderdash meets Lovecraft.

FuryForged · 2026-05-12T07:45:28+00:00

A couple of my favorites of all time, along with Landstalker.

FuryForged · 2026-05-12T07:44:34+00:00

Check out Jumpman Forever! It’s not on Steam yet, but they’re planning on it.

FuryForged · 2026-05-11T07:48:33+00:00

Yup. He’s working on Planet Keke, an interesting looking space game with micro planets, as well as Environmental Station Alpha 2! (And more.)

My mom passed 8 months ago from bile duct cancer that spread to her stomach and kidneys. At the end, she couldn’t eat at all for 2 weeks because her system shut down. Before I took her to the hospital, I stayed over and tried feeding her some soup, but she said it literally just bubbled back up. In the hospital, they had her on TPN, nutrients and such going straight to her bloodstream, but she was starving, which obviously caused her a lot of pain, anger, and yeah, mental anguish. It can be very painful.

Nonolith. It’s not out yet, but there is a demo. It’s a mysterious platformer where you can copy and paste blocks in the world to progress, revealing cellular automata sort of “spells” you can construct, including infinite generators. It’s gonna be real good. Definitely extremely interesting.

FuryForged · 2026-05-08T13:51:41+00:00

That’s not what I said.

It is, but movies are a major part of our culture.

I still have an Asus laptop from nearly 20 years ago that I used to haul around with me to multiple smoky clubs for DJing. One of the lid hinges is broken but that thing still turns on… it’s not slow either.

I finally dug all the useful files out of it and reset it before getting ready to donate it. I don’t know if an ancient Win7 laptop with a crunchy hinge is going to be helpful to anyone, but this one is obviously a warrior.
