He Who Watches News

Release Delay

[p]Hi folks,[/p][p][/p][p]Sorry it has been a minute! It's been an incredibly busy time finishing up the game and preparing for release. I originally announced that He Who Watches would come out in Fall 2025, and as you may have guessed (considering that it's already November) we aren't going to hit that date. [/p][p][/p][p]It breaks my heart to delay the release, but I just don't think it's quite to the quality bar that it needs to be at. Cue that famously misappropriated Miyamoto quote. This is mostly due to my poor planning, but also due to the fact that I'm just one person working on it, and life happens.[/p][p][/p][p]It will come out soon™, and as much as I want to give a more specific estimate than that I think I've learned my lesson! Probably shouldn't have immortalized that Fall 2025 deadline in a trailer. Whoops. I'm incredibly excited to get this game out the door and into your brains, I'm sorry it's taking forever.[/p][p][/p][p] - Bobby[/p]

Cerebral Puzzle Showcase 2024 - Demo Release!

Hello all - The 2024 edition of Cerebral Puzzle Showcase starts today and we're in it with a brand new demo!

This month has been massive for thinky/puzzle game releases, and I'm excited to join the crowd with this demo! If you've played the previous one from last year, this is still worth checking out as the overlap between the two is pretty small. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks again to Draknek & Friends for setting this whole event up!

- Bobby

p.s. We are of course still working towards the full release, hope to have some more news on that front soon.

Cerebral Puzzle Showcase & Tiny Teams Festivals!

Hello puzzlers! We are super excited to be a part of both the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase and Tiny Teams festivals this week! There's a new demo ready that is hot off the press.

Please do check out the games in both of these festivals, as there are some amazing thinky games that are also likely made by some tiny teams.

Huge thanks to Yogscast & Astra Games (particularly Joseph Mansfield) for settings up these two events, and for letting He Who Watches be a part of them.
