This abstract logic puzzle game is a lot of fun and has very pretty art!
Discover the logic puzzle rules in an abstract industrial world (CIPHER ZERO)

It's really nice to see games like this and Nurikabe World being made, where they don't necessarily try to do something *bigger* than just logic puzzles (like Taiji or The Witness), but they do aim to make them really p

New podcast out now! redcircle.com/33888f45-ee1... The main review is #WheelWorld — a game of two halves, in a pretty unusual way — and there's some chat about Haste, Bananza, Cipher Zero, Death Stranding 2, and a bunch of new games that have joined my to-play list.
I LOVE this game so much! You are presented with puzzles that have glyphs, and you have to figure out how the glyphs work and then use that knowledge to figure out more and more complicated puzzles. What you are doing is so simple, in theory, yet complex in such satisfying ways. PLAY IT!
