Every Friday, we want to share a game or a studio we admire. Today, we must confess about our late December 2025 obsession… Proverbs! A fantastic puzzle game where you slowly uncover a pixel-art version of Bruegel's Netherlandish Proverbs.

Proverbs is a picross/minesweeper hybrid featuring a single ENORMOUS puzzle, inspired by Bruegel the Elder's 1559 painting "Netherlandish Proverbs"

Of course, I’d argue (with more space) that the story is not the game artefact, but the space between player, experience & design intent. So that’s why I use the specific term ‘[choices don’t need] *mechanical consequences*’ to make meaning. Thanks to this post for allowing me to expand on that!

Three years ago, FLAT EYE was released. It's one of most complex games I worked on and while it was underwhelming for… reasons, it had one in-game ad I loved working on with the team. The ad showed Prometheus and "his" eagle happily using a neutron energy pump. (don't mind the placeholder text)
