Hello everyone,
We know from your feedback that the drawer puzzle in A Little to the Left is your clear favourite and so we thought it only right that we should give you more of what you love, but with some extra-satisfying twists! We’re incredibly pleased to announce that our first DLC pack, A Little to the Left: Cupboards & Drawers, will be available on both PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch in June.



Inspired by the game’s most popular puzzles, this upcoming DLC unpacks 25 new assortments to thwart. We’ve heightened the complexity, but not the difficulty, by introducing tactile layers such as operable drawers and hidden compartments nestled deep within puzzles.

A Little to the Left: Cupboards & Drawers is stuffed to the brim with disordered hoards and closet deposits. You must pit your wits against bits, bobs, knick-knacks, sundries, odds, and ends across an advanced selection of multi-layered puzzles teeming with hidden compartments and other new interactive elements.



We’ll be announcing the release date soon, but for now, we hope you enjoy our little announcement trailer.
