Rasmus Indie | Wishlist Mindbreak 🤯 @rasmusindie.bsky.social · Jul 9

Gamereactor wrote an article about Mindbreak. It’s in Danish only, but really cool nonetheless 😎 www.gamereactor.dk/mindbreak-er... #indiegame #gamedev #dkgame

Mindbreak er et nyt dansk puzzlespil der tænker ude af boksen

Det kreative puzzlespil sat i et 1900-tals sindssygehospital, udkommer næste år på Steam.

Big in... Russian bot traffic? 😅 Ok, I'll take it

Ruby Ursus | Sulo the Sidekick 🐻 @rubyursus.bsky.social · Jun 30

Just played it for the first time and couldn't agree more!

Ruby Ursus | Sulo the Sidekick 🐻 @rubyursus.bsky.social · Jun 29

Bit of a late bloomer, but finally picked up GRIS in the summer sale and it’s absolutely stunning! The atmosphere just pulls you in.

I normally skip cutscenes, but here I didn’t even want to. Maybe because… there’s no text? 🤔 I need to learn from this gem!

Once it's so ready that you feel like it should be turned into a tattoo

But you still have to open the code to make sure, because they are so confident about it 😆
